A Psalm for the Wild-Built is a cozy novella by Becky Chambers. I enjoyed the setting and the main characters experience. I think they are NB but female presenting. Part coming of age, part Walden’s Pond. Worth a read if you like robots, solarpunk, determination
Sunward by William Alexander is similar in vibes (cozy, robots, far future) but moves to space. Our main character has to save her found family and decide what’s most important to her.
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo is Buffy the Vampire Slayer in book form. There’s some longing but not much romance.
Mister Magic by Kiersten White is a modern retelling of IT. Friends experienced some trauma as kids and have all chosen to deal with it in their own ways. They must come back together as adults and Figure It Out ™️
Nah psalm for the wild built is full middle of the road enby. I'm almost there but slightly on the masc end and it suited me perfectly to identify with the protagonist directly.
Thanks for sharing! It’s a thing I don’t quite understand but I enjoy reading about characters with different experiences. Books can be mirrors or windows
