Empress of the World

It's hard to find books with queer main characters and almost impossible to find them with bisexual ones. Empress of the World, by Sara Ryan, fills those requirements without calling them to attention. It's a book about a girl who goes to a summer camp and makes friends and falls in love. Her love interest just so happens to be a girl.

The writing style is a bit weird, it switches between journal entries and first person. Once I was used to that, the book flowed smoothly and held my interest. The secondary characters, while not completely believable teens, were well developed and important to the story. I found myself caring about them and hoping things would work out for them as well.
There were some lines in this book that I fell in love with, such as, "violas in good voice sound like expensive dark chocolate tastes, rich and swirling and complex". The imagery and descriptions in this book were near perfect.
Anyone looking for a book with queer characters that isn't about coming out should read this book. In fact, anyone looking for a cutesy romance should read this. You won't regret it.
