"Paper Planes" is an engaging and thoughtful young adult graphic novel by non-binary author Jennie Woods that will resonate with teens and adults alike. This tale of love and identity features longtime friends, Leighton and Dylan, who are sent to a summer camp for troubled youth.

Leighton has always accepted Dylan and their non-binary identity, but her parents always thought Dylan was too different to be Leighton’s friend. They both are forced to navigate unfamiliar territory as Dylan develops romantic feelings for Leighton. Even though Leighton loves Dylan very much, she knows she is different and doesn’t have those types of feelings for anyone

I appreciate this graphic novel’s portrayal of non-binary and aro/ace identities and experiences. Overall, "Paper Planes" is an adorable read that will leave you inspired to embrace your own unique identity.
