There Are Reasons for This
By Nini Berndt

I believe there were reasons for writing this book. I’m just not entirely sure what they were. In yet another near-future dystopian setting, Lucy, a teen girl from a small town moves to the big city to find her brother. As much as he would tell her he loved her, the town and their abusive family was slowly killing him, so he went as far away as he could. And died. So Lucy pieces together where he was and what he was doing, and embeds herself into the lives of the people he met so she can get closure. I wouldn’t highly recommend this book, but it has rated highly among LGBTQ+ fiction lovers.
