If You Still Recognize Me by Cynthia So

5.0

What an incredible debut! I love YA books that focus on friendship and family as well as crushes and relationships because they feel more authentic. Friendship is at the heart of IF YOU STILL RECOGNIZE ME, and I love the idea of a second chance reunion with a long lost friend. It’s a cozy, warm read but it also has a lot to say about identity (race, culture, and sexual orientation), coming out, and intersectionality within in the queer community.

If you’re looking for sapphic YA that’s sweet, low-angst, and features an engaging cast of characters, I highly recommend this book.

LGBTQ details: bi MC rep, butch lesbian rep, side character ace rep, and queer/questioning rep.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC.
