I would recommend two translated books that were published late this string Lowering Clouds (novel) and The Salon of Exiled Artists in California: Salka Viertel took in actors, prominent intellectuals and anonymous people in exile fleeing from Nazism (non-fiction) both by Núria Añó
Rip Cord by Jeanne St James which is M/M or crossing the Line by Jeanne St James which is also M/M.

“Will and Patrick....” Honestly, it makes me smile just to see that series mentioned. Nothing heavy, just a lot of fun. So glad someone suggested it!
I would HIGHLY recommend The Black Flamingo if you haven't read it.
-All Night Party by Andrea Barnett is good. While not all the women profiled in the book are LGBT several are (Margaret Anderson, Jane Heap, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Bessie Smith).-The Huntress by Kate Quinn features a relationship between two Night Witches.
I would have added Áutoboyagraphy'.It talks about friendship, romance, sexuality, religion. heartbreak, secrets. I think It is especially good if you are dating a Mormon who is homosexual and is hiding it.
