Queer Representations in books

Does The Best Lies by Sarah Lyu have Queer Representation?

No, it does not. 
Unless you may consider Elise’s obsessive nature towards Remy as being some sort of twisted romantic love, there is no clear queer representation.

Is there Queer Rep in These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong?

Yes, in the first couple chapters a character is introduced and hinted at being trans in a creative way, Kathleen is semi-main character and her queerness it is not mentioned much after that, it is just a part of her not her “only” personality trait which is unfortunately commonly done by numerous authors.

More lgbtqia+ characters are introduced as being queer in the thrilling sequel, “Our Violent Ends.”

Is there Queer Rep in Little Thieves by Margaret Owen?

Yes, there is queer rep. There are two side-main characters who are lgbtqia+. The characters’ personality wasn’t just being queer, both had complex history\back story and they greatly contributed to the story.

MILD SPOILERS!

There is even a relationship between the two lgbtqia+ characters and the romance is sweet, fitting and captivating, the type of ship you root for.

MAJOR SPOILERS!

Gisele comes out to a lesbian, and it even explores realistic unfortunate conversations many queer people must have when coming out to homophobic parents. After all the struggles she faces her relationship is just that much more special with Ragne who I believe is bisexual but am not sure.
