It's an extremely self-indulgent and lighthearted book but Canto Contigo (Jonny Garza Villa) has an amazing transmasc rep - and it's a main character !



Do not be put of by the fact It wrote this, I urge you to read the review before choosing to ignore it


I WANTED TO RECOMMEND IT, THEY ARE TWO OF MY FAVOURITE BOOKS EVER LIKE OMG!

Most Ardently by Gabe Cole Novoa,
and Sixteen Souls by Rosie Talbot.
I also heard that Self-Made Boys: A Great Gatsby Remix by Anna-Marie McLemore,
Venom & Vow by Anna-Marie McLemore and Elliott McLemore,
The Wicked Bargain by Gabe Cole Novoa,
Hell Followed With Us, The Spirit Bares Its Teeth, Compound Fracture by Andrew Joseph White,
Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender,
Pet by Akwaeke Emezi,
Peter Darling by Austin Chant,
Meet Cute Diary by Emery Lee,
(not sure if there's a transmasc character for this one but definitely trans rep) The Diablo's Curse by Gabe Cole Novoa,
Godly Heathens by H.E. Edgmon,
Infinity Alchemist by Kacen Callender were really good!



The Diablo's curse has a genderfluid MC and a transfemme side character!

Ok! Cool! Thank you!


Yeah, but fair warning, it's a rough read. A transmasc mutual on Bluesky said he had to DNF it as it brought up too much past trauma for him.
Speaking of Gabe Cole Novoa, I liked The Diablo's Curse but LOVED The Wicked Bargain, the book that Diablo is the sequel for, which features a transmasc nonbinary Latine protagonist. I'm nonbinary and felt the transmasc and nonbinary rep in it was on target, insightful and very affirming (it also has low spice pan rep).

I really wanted to read both of them but you made me want to read them even more! Also, did you read Most Ardently? It's really good!

ooh I've been wanting to read that one for a while
