Excerpt 2 from my NaNoWriMo project: - CassJayTuck. The 10 Greatest Dystopian Love Stories in Literature.
This week saw the release of the brilliant Ariel Djanikian‘s debut novel, The Office of Mercy.
Djanikian’s book drops you into a deliciously paranoid world that we’re confident will go down in history with the best of them, so we asked her to put together a list of her favorite dystopian love stories (just be sure to mentally add The Office of Mercy to her list). Here’s what she told us: “Dystopian tales seem to go hand-in-hand with scintillating, high-octane love stories: perhaps because dire circumstances have a knack of drawing people together, perhaps because claustrophobic repression makes the highs and lows of love affairs that much more potent.
These ten books boast plenty of heart-stopping love triangles, as well as romantic pairings with some changes: robots, clones, and cyborgs get in on the action. They are love affairs that question how much feeling we have to offer, and how much trust we can risk in the face of political pressures. Teen Fiction - Tame. Shades of YA.

Gay teen fiction is a subgenre that overlaps with LGBT literature and young adult literature.
This article covers books about gay and bisexual teenage characters who are male. History[edit] In 1969, the publication of I'll Get There. It Better be Worth the Trip by John Donovan announced the arrival of gay and lesbian literature as a new genre within young adult fiction. To date there are still relatively few titles that fit within this genre, but nonetheless, the books that have been written and published constitute a necessary and unique collection of ideas.[2] In the years from 1969 through 1992, approximately sixty young adult novels with gay/lesbian characters or themes appeared in the United States.
Publication[edit] Despite the apparent wider acceptance of these novels, publishing them can be difficult.

I wasn't even tired when I finally got up to find some breakfast.
I walked into the dining room to find Carter and Eliza already sitting at their mahogany table. I took the seat across from my best friend, but he didn't so much as even glance up; Carter just kept his head parallel to his plate and shoveled in the golden-brown pancakes that Hank had made for us. I caught Eliza's eye, and she nodded back at me. I gave her a nonchalant shrug and grabbed an empty plate from the middle of the table. “I was having a good dream. Collide by J.R.
