I absolutely loved the Autobiography Of Red (and the sequel). I am looking for similar titles with similar themes of growing up, finding oneself, navigating feelings of love, loneliness, hope, etc. (they don’t have to be limited to retellings of myths). I prefer books with gay protagonists. Thanks for your recommendations!

Different format altogether, but you might like the memoir *Elephants in my Backyard* by Rajiv Surendra, it has similar themes to what you listed!
You could look at Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo. It’s a novel in verse following two late-teens young women (one of them with a girlfriend), with themes of family, identity, friendship and dealing with grief. It’s beautifully written.
