Sophie Gonzales’s eight standalone novels span her career from The Law of Inertia (2018) to Nobody in Particular (2025). Each book works on its own, and they cover a range of young adult settings, from high school hallways to boy band tours to reality television. What connects them is Gonzales’s interest in LGBTQ+ characters navigating romance and self-acceptance.
Only Mostly Devastated (2020) reimagines Grease with a gay male lead, while Perfect on Paper (2021) follows a bisexual protagonist who runs an anonymous advice service. If This Gets Out (2021), written with Cale Dietrich, is a boy band romance, and Never Ever Getting Back Together (2022) puts a group of exes in a competition for revenge. The books are consistently funny without treating their characters’ feelings as jokes.
