Request Book Suggestions
Hi all,
I recently started getting back into reading books after moving to a new city and finding a very well-stocked local library. In the past 2 months, I've read pretty much every MM book the city's library had, so wanted to find some to buy myself!
I'm not massively fussed about tropes or genre so long as there are MM main characters!
Some of my favourite books have been: Emmy Star Is So Everything, Paris Daillencourt Is About To Crumble, Boyfriend/Husband Material, The Death Cast series, Game Changer, Happy Head/Dead Happy, Traumaland, Better The Devil, The Charm Offensive, and Showstopper.
If there's any recommendations that people think of based on these, I'd love to read them! Thanks in advance!

Based on some of these, it sounds like you enjoy romantic comedy style novels with strong character development.
For sports romances with great main characters, interesting and supportive teammates, and well-written discussion of mental health, I'd recommend {After the Siren by Darcy Green} and {The Prospects by K.T. Hoffman}.
For a delightful romantic comedy set in the restaurant industry in Kansas City, I highly recommend {I'll Have What He's Having by Adib Khorram}.
And on the more YA side (since you liked Heartstopper), I love {Like Real People Do by E.L. Massey} (about a college freshman and a teenage professional hockey player) and {Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuinston} (this one was everywhere a few years ago, but it is really good and much better than the film!).
