June is here, which means two things: the historic thirtieth season of the WNBA is in full swing and everything is a little gayer all month long. Whether you love women’s basketball or you’re simply searching for a good book to add to your sapphic stacks, A Sharp Endless Need by Mac Crane (they/them) is definitely worthRead More

Love of the Game: Running Home to You by Samantha Saldivar
The Olympics are wrapping up as I write this review, which means I have sports on the brain—so even though it’s an entirely different season, this softball romance found me at the perfect time. Framed in flashback, Running Home to You (May 19, 2026) introduces us to Kate and Abby, third year undergraduates on theRead More

A Collection Beyond My Grasp: Gods of Want by K-Ming Chang Review
Gods of Want by K-Ming Chang (she/her) won the 2023 Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Fiction and was hailed as one of the New York Times Notable Books of the Year.

A Disappointing Carmilla Retelling: Hungerstone by Kat Dunn Review
Hungerstone was one of my most-anticipated books of 2025, but it ended up being a disappointment. I love Carmilla and queer Carmilla retellings, not to mention sapphic vampire stories in general, so I thought this would be an easy win. Instead, I ended up feeling like this was a novel split in two, where theRead More
A Sapphic Hunt for Legacy: The Guest Book by Mae Marvel
First and foremost, The Guest Book (June 2, 2026) gets a special mention as my very first NetGalley eARC. I feel like a proper book reviewer now! I was immediately drawn in by the synopsis: a whirlwind vacation to a cozy English inn for two young Americans in need of an escape from Hard Things, with aRead More
Unlikable Protagonist, Unexpectedly Engaging Debut: I Make My Own Fun by Hannah Beer
Last month, I was listening to Book Riot’s All the Books! and Vanessa Diaz recommended I Make My Own Fun by Hannah Beer (she/her). Vanessa described the main character as an A-list actor who is viewed as the golden child of the movie industry, but is actually a raging sociopath. The A-lister has a one-night stand with a bartender and becomesRead More
Let’s Make a Deal: The Devil She Knows by Alexandria Bellefleur
Alexandria Bellefleur’s The Devil She Knows is a sweet-as-sin sapphic romance. Our main character, Sam, is an underpaid and overworked pastry chef, disrespected by her boss who refuses to give her the promotion that they both know she deserves. The rotten cherry on top of the shitty sundae comes when Sam’s proposal to her would-be fiancée goes horriblyRead More
Family Matters: Next Time Will Be Our Turn by Jesse Q Sutanto
Next Time Will Be Our Turn was the perfect book to read on an airplane, because so much of it involves characters travelling from one country to another, reflecting on what makes a home a home and what it means to live somewhere that doesn’t have room for their whole self. Fair warning, though: itRead More
