Ability Awareness: Romance Reads

Posted on October 22, 2021

by Abby B

While most disability representation in romance is restricted to the historical genre, there has been a push in recent years for representation in contemporary romance. With the success of Helen Hoang’s 2018 debut The Kiss Quotient, many authors have followed Hoang’s lead and written books with disability representation, including neurodiversity, chronic illnesses, hearing disabilities, and physical disabilities. Enjoy the series listed below to broaden your romantic horizons.
