Kings of B'More is a young adult contemporary book that follows two queer black teens trying to make the most of their last day together. This book is full of black queer joy and representation. That really helped it stand apart from other YA contemporary books. This book follows best friends Linus and Harrison. Harrison finds out that Linus is moving away soon and plots out an incredible day. Although this is also categorized as a romance, I liked how it really highlighted the friendship between Harrison and Linus. This captured the magic of Ferris Bueller and more, so if you liked that movie I definitely recommend. It was funny seeing them avoid their parents. Having a best friend that just moved away, I really connected to this book and the overall message. I'm also LGBT+ and loved seeing the boys go to their first pride event. This is a great book to kick off pride month.
