The seven husbands of Evelyn hugo!!

the truth about keeping secrets
i’m also gonna read the jasmine throne so maybe that too

The Poison Heart is AMAZING

for those of u into slow burn romance something to talk about is AMAZING <3

The Scorpion rules !
Basically its a science-fiction book, with a bisexual main character, a woman. Its like end of the world book with robots and all !! Its a series of two books, really good and i recommend highly !

ive only read 2 wlw books, the seven husbands of evelyn hugo and cinderella is dead. and i totally loved them! so would really appreciate recs <33

far from you by tess sharpe is my all time favourite book + its sapphic so <3

the miseducation of cameron Post if it hasnt been said already:)

Criers War!

I think that the things we don’t see by Savannah Brown is pretty good.

everyone should read how to make a wish by ashley blake. It's incredible and is the cutest romance while dealing with really hard topics

this is how you loose the time war is great!!

everything leads to you by nina lacour is so so good <3

WRITTEN IN THE STARS IS A LESBIAN FAKE DATING ROMCOM AND IM OBSESSED

You might want to give Survived by Her Longtime Companion a try. It's similar to TSHOEH in that two of the MCs are actresses, one bigger than the other, there's jealousy, hurt, etc. It's an underhyped sapphic book, but I think it deserves more recognition.

Girl Serpent Thorn and Gearbreakers are both peak wlw enemies to lovers!

wildthorn !

haven't read that much yet buuut here's my sapphic enemies-to-lovers list x)

- Her royal highness - Rachel Hawkins (normal person falls for princess-trope +in general super-cute, "falling in love with your royal classmate in boarding school BUT MAKE IT GAY" quotes it very well)
- The dark tide - Alicia Jasinska (slow-burn, opposites attract, love-reforms-villain-trope, grumpy x sunshine, but trigger warning: it has some passages regarding mental health: there's a reason the villain turned a villain, duh, a bad person is not always bad...)
- The ones we burn - Rebecca Mix (publishing in November, 2022) (she falls for the prince....'s sister, that's literally all you need to know :D)
- Malice (Malice Duology) - Heather Walter (haven't read it yet but it's a sapphic retelling of “Sleeping Beauty")
- Girls of paper and fire - Natasha Ngan (haven't read it yet but only heard good stuff about it, BUT huge trigger warning!)


Apart from all those enemies-to-lovers-trope books i am (patiently-unpatiently) planning to read:

- Anyone but her - Erica Lee; Colorblind - Siera Maley anddd am currently reading We set the dark on fire - Tehlor Kay Mejia

i'd love to see some more recommendations!
it makes it so much easier to find a new amazing book to read :)

Tryst Six Venom for sapphic enemies-to-lovers :)

A Clash of Steel (C. B. Lee)
if you love pirates, gay girls, and Chinese culture this book will tear you apart. im actually in love with it

Criers War and Iron Heart

Sweet and Bitter Magic

Ruinsong

The Priory of the Orange Tree

Honey girl and I think I love you were both so good!

Written in the Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur

One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

“Hani and Ishu’s Guide to Fake Dating” it’s so so so so good and the characters are great, also “She drives me crazy” one of my faves, super cute.

I truly recommend...

It's Not Like It's A Secret- This book is awonderful path of self discovery

Odd One Out- This book has 3 different perspectives (one of which being a lesbian) I read it about 3 years about so I don't remember much but it's an amzing book.

Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera

Whitney wrote: "Juliet Takes a Breath by Gabby Rivera"
I just bought that book but it won't be here for a while so I was wondering if you liked it and what POV it was written in like first perosn or third person?

the price of salt- patricia highsmith ! if you’ve seen the movie carol this is what it’s based on :)

Must Love Silence by Lucy Bexley
One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

Honestly I have too many recommendations for WLW books but here are a few:

Read Between the Lines -- Rachel Lacey
Wrong Number, Right Woman -- Jae
Gillette Park -- Gerri Hill (more of a paranormal WLW romance. Psychic who helps solve a serial killer case by talking to the victims. Check trigger warnings for this book before reading.)
Breaking Character, Hotel Queens, The Red Files -- Lee Winter
Ask, Tell -- E.J. Noyes (Takes place during Don't Ask, Don't Tell military policy held by the US until 2011.)

Something to talk about by Meryl Wilsner!!!

It's such an underground read tbh. It's about 2 women with an age gap, in showbusiness. Kinda a slow burn but that's what kept me going to finish this read.

last night at the telegraph club
criers war !!

Delilah Green Doesn’t Care
Plain Bad Heroines
Juliet Takes a Breath
I Think I Love You

the entire “feminine pursuits” series. has me sobbing

i haven’t read it yet but i heard that "she gets the girl" by rachael lippincott is really good !!!

JWQS 泾渭情殇 (Clear and Muddy Loss of Love) by Please Don't Laugh is a top tier Chinese historical fiction webnovel with a slowburn romance. Favourite wlw novel at the moment.
