We Deserve Monuments
We Deserve Monuments by Jas Hammonds is a YA novel that weaves together a queer love story, family secrets, and an exploration of racism in a small Southern town. When Avery moves in with her terminally ill grandmother, she uncovers hidden histories, generational trauma, and long-buried truths about her family and community. The writing is lyrical and suspenseful, making it a strong choice for mature high school readers who enjoy character-driven mysteries. It works well for book clubs and advanced literature study focused on place, memory, and justice.
