Books that aren't totally depressing, uh maaaaybe Any Other City by Hazel Jane Plante? That one follows its trans riotgrrl protag through various stages of her 90s riotgrrl life which is cool I enjoyed it, uh...
The Weight of Living by MA Hinkle if dad passing away offscreen is fine, it deals with heavy topics but it's my personal favourite transfem romance, uh
That's all I fuckin got unless you like Lily Seabrooke novels. I look at the rest of my top 5 - The Last Girl Scout, Nevada, Little Blue Encyclopedia - and any of the other ones I like are either grim traumafests or just actual splatterpunk shit.
There's lot of beautiful & sweet books out there, like Little Blue Encyclopedia or Otros Valles or stuff, but they deal with heavy themes and/or are crushingly sad/wistful sometimes, so I can't recommend atm.
Unsurprisingly a lot of trans lady authors are also sad n depressed =)

Don't beat yourself up. You've given me plenty to look over. Thank you
Just unfortunate that the genre of "books with trans girlkissers in" is almost universally depressing unless it's YA, y'know. Happy to help tho
That's sad. I hope I can get to a place where that sounds entertaining, but right now I feel like I have enough sadness in real life
Any of it in fiction would just overwhelm me

I'm gonna write one day, and I'll only write happy things
