These Fleeting Shadows was listed as horror, which I suppose it technically is. It feels more like a coming of age fantasy story. It's certainly the best cosmic horror story I've ever read, but don't let that low low bar deter you. It has romance in it but isn't a romance, and there are gay and lesbian characters.

Apparently it's (loosely) based on another book, and I definitely appreciate what the author was going for and think she succeeded.
