Let’s start with literary fiction, because that’s what I’m the most eager to read as 2023 begins. Contemporary voices, unusual storytelling structures, complicated platonic and romantic relationships, upmarket genre novels. I want beautiful prose with a splashy concept. #MSWL

Contemporary YA Romance featuring a gay or lesbian couple. #MSWL

YA with a protagonist like Blaine Anderson (Glee): slightly nerdy, hopeless romantic, perfectionist, angsty. #MSWL

A really good contemporary YA romance. F/F, M/F, M/M, or even non-binary — don't care, as long as the chemistry is good. #MSWL

I want a contemporary YA that features a m/m or f/f romance, but it still needs a fresh hook beyond the relationship. #MSWL
