Lambda Literary Award Winner! “Pen is an inspiration to anyone who’s struggled to be understood, and a vital addition to the growing world of genderqueer protagonists.” —New York Times Book Review All Pen wants is to be the kind of girl she’s always been. So why does everyone have a problem with it? They think the way she looks and acts means she’s trying to be a boy—that she should quit trying to be something she’s not. If she dresses like a girl, and does what her folks want, it will show respect. If she takes orders and does what her friend Colby wants, it will show her loyalty. But respect and loyalty, Pen discovers, are empty words. Old-world parents, disintegrating friendships, and strong feelings for other girls drive Pen to see the truth—that in order to be who she truly wants to be, she’ll have to man up. M. E. Girard’s Girl Mans Up is perfect for fans of Meredith Russo, Becky Albertalli, Alex Sanchez, and Jaye Robin Brown!

Man Up is based on the true story of one man. When his entire life changes, he is forced to step up and be a father to his children. After conflicts arise with the mothers - Kim, Melissa and Sonia - of his first three children, he leaves without remorse, forcing them to fend for themselves. Kim was his first love (or so she thought). She was raised by her mother, and older sisters, and dreamt of going to college and getting a degree in child care. She wanted to be successful like her big sisters. However, when she gets pregnant at sixteen, it changes the course of her life. Like so many young ladies, her dreams were now deferred. Melissa was thirty-five, with a degree in social science and was well established in her career when she met Him. She had two children from a previous marriage. Melissa had a good job, and nice home. She had everything, except a good man. When they met, she was feeling lonely, and looking for love. She missed being married, and wanted a father figure for her kids. Melissa thought that He would be the perfect husband and father, but soon she discovers that He can be neither. Sonia was His favorite. He loved making love to her. She had the best sex ever. Sonia had grown up in a house full of boys, which made her tough. She was a tomboy and loved sports. They watched the games together, and she knew more plays than he did. Not only was she well-versed on sports, she was hard working and had a body out of this world. Soon their platonic relationship turns romantic and after a few months Sonia gets pregnant. With another child on the way, he can't deal with the responsibly and leaves after the baby arrives. Finally he meets the love of his life. Britney was twenty-six, and looked like a Super Model. The moment he laid eyes on Britney, he knew that she was the one. Britney was not only beautiful, she was smart too. In the beginning of their relationship, she was loveable and catered to him on a daily basis. They moved in together, and eventually had two children. His life was perfect for the first time ever. He had a decent job, and a solid relationship. After years of living the good life, things turned sour. Britney began working late hours and going on business trips with her boss. He soon becomes resentful and suspects that she's having an affair. When he confronts her about his suspicions, their argument becomes physical and she leaves him and the kids. The tables are now turned and he's left to raise two little girls on his own. At first he contemplates leaving the kids and even killing himself. He can't handle the responsibility of being a single parent. The easy route would have been to walk out, like he had done so many times before, but his heart wouldn't let him. His life was going downhill fast. The day-to-day pressure of fatherhood started pushing him to the point of depression and he didn't know where to turn. Growing up, he had always depended on somebody else - his mother, friends and girlfriends - now he had nobody, but himself to rely on. His father had walked out on the family when he was a boy, and he was never taught how to be a man, or a father. Man Up, is a coming of age story of a man (who remains nameless throughout the story because he could be any one of us) who teaches himself through trial and error how to become a father. Each of his relationships teaches him a little more about himself (the good and the bad). When he has to man up and raise two children on his own, he finally understands what a woman goes through being single parent. He understands their perspective, but from a man's point-of-view. Man Up is gritty and real. The story will have you laughing, crying and in the end rooting for the single father to succeed in raising his children and becoming a better man.

Perfect for fans of Fat Chance, Charlie Vega and Cool for the Summer. Baylee has never been kissed but she wants to do way more than that. She’s had a huge crush on her gorgeous best friend and neighbor Freddie for years, but since she doesn’t look like his usual type, the judgmental voice in her head tells her he’ll never see her as more than a friend. It feels like she’ll spend the rest of high school fantasizing on the sidelines while everyone else dates and hooks up. Then Baylee meets Alex online and she starts to fall for this sweet, funny barista who likes her just as she is. It’s new, electric, and all-consuming to be around Alex. But when Freddie makes a move on Baylee and a virus shuts the world down, Baylee finds herself torn. Everything is happening at once, and she is left navigating the messy waters of love and desire. It helps that she’s observed her friends’ relationship drama, so she knows exactly what mistakes not to make . . . right? This sophomore novel from M-E Girard centers a fat, confident girl going after what she wants and learning to love herself along the way.

We all know who The Girl is. She holds The Hero's hand as he runs through the Pyramids, chasing robots. Or she nags him, or foils him, plays the uptight straight man to his charming loser. She's idealised, degraded, dismissed, objectified and almost always dehumanised. How do we process these insidious portrayals, and how do they shape our sense of who we are and what we can become? Part memoir, part cultural commentary, part call to arms to women everywhere, You Play The Girl flips the perspective on the past thirty-five years in pop culture - from the progressive 70s, through the backlash 80s, the triumphalist 90s and the pornified 'bro culture' of the early twenty-first century - providing a firsthand chronicle of the experience of growing up inside this funhouse. Always incisive, Chocano brilliantly shows that our identities are more iterative than we think, and certainly more complex than anything we see on any kind of screen.

The CW's hit adaptation of Supergirl is a new take on the classic DC character for a new audience. With diverse female characters, it explores different versions of the female experience. No single character embodies a feminist ideal but together they represent attributes of the contemporary feminist conversation. This collection of new essays uses a similar approach, inviting a diverse group of scholars to address the many questions about gender roles and female agency in the series. Essays analyze how the series engages with feminism, Supergirl's impact on queer audiences, and how families craft the show's feminist narratives. In the ever-growing superhero television genre, Supergirl remains unique as viewers watch a female hero with almost godlike powers face the same struggles as ordinary women in the series.

Named one of the best YA Latinx books of 2019 by Remezcla and HipLatina. A Bustle Book Club Selection A powerful exploration of love, identity, and self-worth through the eyes of a fierce, questioning Puerto Rican teen. Fifteen-year-old Verdad doesn't think she has time for love. She's still struggling to process the recent death of her best friend, Blanca; dealing with the high expectations of her hardworking Puerto Rican mother and the absence of her remarried father; and keeping everyone at a distance. But when she meets Danny, a new guy at school—who happens to be trans—all bets are off. Verdad suddenly has to deal with her mother's disapproval of her relationship with Danny as well as her own prejudices and questions about her identity, and Danny himself, who is comfortable in his skin but keeping plenty of other secrets. In her luminous, raw, and open-hearted exploration of identity, grief and first love, NoNieqa Ramos has created an unforgettable character in Verdad.The Truth Is offers a complex look at a brilliant, queer, neurodifferent girl, the mother who loves but doesn't understand her, and a fabulously drawn group of street kids who can't save themselves but just might save her. A brilliantly written breathtaking book. I couldn't put it down! —Michelle Ruiz-Keil, author of All of Us with Wings A brilliant, beautiful, moving story of ecstasy and loss and tragedy and hope, The Truth Is demands to be read. The fast-moving plot bristles with literary and classical references, but the deepest insights—and there are plenty—come from the unforgettable observations and conclusions of its main character, Verdad de la Reyna, an unforgettably brave and complicated heroine who confronts profoundly disturbing, real-world challenges with the help of friends, both present and past. Nonieqa Ramos follows up The Disturbed Girl's Dictionary with another superb novel guaranteed to break the reader's heart before trying to mend it." —Tom Wilinsky and Jen Sternick, authors of Snowsisters NoNieqa Ramos's un-flinching voice and writing style continues to cement her as a force to be reckoned with in the YA world. —Mia García, author of The Resolutions
