If you haven't already read it, I'd recommend Done to the Bone by Mayra Lazara Dole. It's about a Cuban-American lesbian who's kicked out of her house and school after being outted. I have some problems with the way it presented bisexuality; perpetuated gender binaries (despite featuring an awesome trans char); and defined 'genderqueer,' plus the writing is pretty... average, but it does a really amazing job of including cool, fleshed out characters of colors. Especially QUEER characters of color. The story was really interesting. :)
