Is The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli an lgbt book?

lgbtqreads:

No – it’s an allo cishet romance. It has a lot of queer characters and great secondary romances, though, if you’re looking for that. Definitely a book I recommend highly, though I’m pretty tired of seeing it on LGBT book lists, especially since Becky herself has spoken up against its inclusion on them.

There is something to be said for a book that has more queer people than can be counted on one hand, though, especially as they’re not all versions of the Sassy Gay Friend. I really enjoyed reading it.
