We pulled in resources far and wide to line up some diverse and truly amazing books this month!
This is our 3rd identity box (following our ace and sapphic boxes) and focuses on identities outside the gender binary!
🌈 Our March BOTM is And They Lived… by Steven Salvatore! And They Lived is not just a heartfelt exploration of a college student’s gender identity, it’s also a body-positive, sex-positive love story insisting that we all deserve that fairy tale ending! Steven also helped with our book item design this month!

Then Chase meets Jack, a gorgeous student poet who has been longing to experience life outside his sheltered, conservative family. Chase throws everything Jack’s ever assumed about himself into question as they fall into a lightning-sharp attraction. Together, Chase and Jack have to learn to love not just each other, but who they are, and find their own happily ever after…
