The Luis Ortega Survival Club / by Reyes, Sonora,author.;
"Ariana Ruiz wants to be noticed. But as an autistic girl who never talks, she goes largely ignored by her peers--despite her bold fashion choices. So when cute, popular Luis starts to pay attention to her, Ari finally feels seen. Luis's attention soon turns to something more, and they have sex at a party--while Ari didn't say no, she definitely didn't say yes. Before she has a chance to process what happened and decide if she even has the right to be mad at Luis, the rumor mill begins churning--thanks, she's sure, to Luis's ex-girlfriend, Shawni. Boys at school now see Ari as an easy target, someone who won't say no. Then Ari finds a mysterious note in her locker that eventually leads her to a group of students determined to expose Luis for the predator he is. To her surprise, she finds genuine friendship among the group, including her growing feelings for the very last girl she expected to fall for. But in order to take Luis down, she'll have to come to terms with the truth of what he did to her that night--and risk everything to see justice done."--013+.Grades 10-12.

The fragments that remain / by Angeconeb, Mackenzie,author.;
"First-year college student Andy can't afford to slow down. Study, volunteer, work, make new friends, fall in love -- whatever it takes to keep her from obsessing over her brother Ally's death, which was ruled suicide by overdose. Navigating a new life chapter without her "honorary twin," Andy writes letters to him as she strives to embrace her bisexuality and her Indigenous identity. Once she discovers Ally's hidden poems, Andy pours over them to make sense of her brother's life -- and his death. Back in senior year, Ally dreamed of being a poet. His parents encouraged him to write as a hobby, but they always expected him to inherit the family-owned bookshop with his sister. Ally wrote to cope with his emptiness, until he turned to drugs to fill the void. Reaching for her brother through unanswered words, Andy must reckon with living a once-shared life alone"--

Wild failure : stories / by Whittall, Zoe,author.;
"In "Oh, El," a dominant woman can't stop herself from toying with a tender heart. In "Half-Pipe," a teen girl's ambivalence about heterosexuality gets her in trouble at a skate park. The title story, "Wild Failure," is a doomed love story between an agoraphobic and a wilderness hiker trapped in a passionate relationship that might ruin them both--if a mountain lion doesn't kill them first. Living collectively in a rental house, a group of bisexual roommates find themselves the subject of a true-crime podcast in "Murder at the Elm Street Collective House." In "The Sex Castle Lunch Buffet," a femme reflects on her brief stint at a strip club years ago when she learns of the death of a regular client. Whittall's characters navigate shame, attachment and disconnection in this collection of outsider stories inspired by the new narrative movement and hybrid literary fiction of the 1980s and 90s. Through playful prose and dark humor, Whittall challenges what we mean by a beautiful life in this latest addition to the genre of outlaw literature."--

M is for monster [graphic novel] / by Dutton, Talia,author,illustrator.;
"A scientist attempts to bring her younger sister back to life with unexpected results in this Frankenstein-inspired graphic novel about ghosts, identity, and family. When Doctor Frances Ai's younger sister Maura died in a tragic accident six months ago, Frances swore she would bring her back to life. However, the creature that rises from the slab is clearly not Maura. This girl, who chooses the name "M," doesn't remember anything about Maura's life and just wants to be her own person. However, Frances expects M to pursue the same path that Maura had been on--applying to college to become a scientist--and continue the plans she and Maura shared. Hoping to trigger Maura's memories, Frances surrounds M with the trappings of Maura's past, but M wants nothing to do with Frances' attempts to change her into something she's not. In order to face the future, both Frances and M need to learn to listen and let go of Maura once and for all. Talia Dutton's debut graphic novel, M Is for Monster, takes a hard look at what it means to live up to other people's expectations--as well as our own. M Is for Monster is one of the titles on our Surely list which is dedicated to showcasing gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual creators and stories"--

Frida Kahlo / by Judah, Hettie,author.; Kahlo, Frida.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Step into the world of Frida Kahlo: behind the portraits and the surrealist art discover the fascinating woman who has transfixed the world. Fridamania has made Frida Kahlo's image ubiquitous: she has been reborn as a Halloween costume, Barbie doll, children's book character, textile print, phone cover and the inspiration for everything from cocktails to fashion shoots. But it is more difficult to get a clear vision of this bold and brilliant, foul-mouthed, heavy-drinking, hard-smoking, husband-stealing, occasionally bisexual, often bed-bound, wheelchair-using, needy, forthright and passionate woman. Hettie Judah sets out to correct that with this superb biography of one of the most charismatic artists of the last hundred years. Follow Frida's life through tumultuous love and life-altering accidents, towards recognition in the art world from the likes of Andre Breton and Marcel Duchamp, to becoming the first Mexican artist held at the Louvre. Judah delves into Kahlo's experiences and how these came together to inspire the art that has been described as an uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form. From an early battle with Polio, to a debilitating bus accident at 18, through love and heart ache, the life of Frida Kahlo was one of pain but a pain that bore great beauty.
