Goodreads is currently doing a giveaway for The Extraordinaries.

One that I thought was going to be Literary Fiction, but a lot of readers are tagging it as YA:

Boys of Alabama by Genevieve Hudson releases May 19th.

The Unstoppable Wasp: Built On Hope releases May 26th 2020 by Marvel

There's a main lesbian romance, and the main character, Nadia, is described as asexual/aromantic, but those exact terms aren't used. It's a fun read, and continues the comics series, which is also so good!

Heartstopper: Volume 1 releases May 5th 2020 by Graphix

A physical publication of the popular webcomic, finally out in the US!

Felix Ever After releases May 5th 2020 by Balzer + Bray

The Black Flamingo releases May 26th 2020 by Balzer + Bray

I think this one is out in the UK already, but this is the US release.

Stay Gold releases May 26th 2020 by HarperTeen
