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
Hey, Princess: Nobody in Particular by Sophie Gonzales Review
Nobody in Particular (published 2025) is a YA boarding school story about Danni, the scholarship student at a prestigious boarding school in a fictional European country, and Rose, the princess she falls in love with there. Danni keeps her bisexuality hidden due to an intense desire to blend in and avoid the bullying she sufferedRead 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. Described as “[v]isceral stories that center the bodies, memories, myth, and relationships of Asian American women” (back cover) and “unapologetically queer” (The Guardian), I wasRead More
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
A Sapphic Dragon-Slaying Knight: Brighter Than Scale, Swifter than Flame by Neon Yang Review
In Brighter Than Scale, Swifter than Flame, Neon Yang gives us a bright, fast-paced novella about dragons and knights and clandestine feelings. I have to admit, I was initially drawn in by the luscious cover art by Tran Nguyen, featuring a tough woman in beautiful armor with a second gorgeous, tattooed woman draped over her back asRead More
The Camp of “Bottoms” Meets the Drama of “The Bachelor”: Patricia Wants to Cuddle by Samantha Allen Review
Whatever you think you’re getting into with this one…think again. Patricia Wants to Cuddle is a queer comedy/horror novel told from multiple POVs, including contestants after the star of a dating show called The Catch, the producer of said dating show, the host of a remote bed & breakfast, and a series of blog posts. It starts withRead More
