Writing duo T.B. Markinson and Miranda MacLeod of I Heart SapphFic have written a Devil Wears Prada-esque story where the leading ladies actually get together called Not Today, Satan. Perpetual fuck up and hothead Harley Plotkin does what she does best: loses her temper, sets fire to the ice queen’s work (literally), and causes her friend (an expectant father) to lose his job and insurance.
Sapphics in Space: Moss’d in Space by Rebecca Thorne
Rebecca Thorne’s Moss’d in Space came out in late June and I read it on a whim. I’m not usually one for space sci-fi, but after a rewatch of CW’s Supergirl (2015) I was feeling the absence of yearning sapphics in space. And find them, I did. Moss’d in Space follows Torian as she spends her life savings onRead More

A Taste of Love and Heartbreak: Sweetbitter Song by Rosie Hewlett Review
Since being released in March, Sweetbitter Song by Rosie Hewlett has stolen my heart. After growing up with Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series, I’ve had an affinity for Greek mythology retellings. If you enjoyed Madeline Miller’s Circe or Song of Achilles, I’d highly recommend Hewlett’s most recent novel. Sweetbitter Song is a sapphic retelling ofRead More
Fake Dating On a Couples Weekend: The Retreat by Natasha West Review
If you love non-angsty enemies to lovers, you’ll want to pick up The Retreat by Natasha West. West combines the enemies to lovers trope with fake dating, forced proximity, and only one bed. It’s chaotic and funny, yet unabashedly real. The pace is quick (the majority of the book takes place over a single weekend), and IRead More
A Fluffy Sapphic Sports Romance: A Match to Love by Johana Gavez Review
This month, I decided to branch out and read my first sports romance. I chose Colombian author Johana Gavez’s debut novel, A Match to Love. Gavez is a self-proclaimed fluff lover, so I knew I was in good hands. When an anonymous online friendship turns into something romantic, Ari Nuñez finds herself out of her depth.Read More

With a mother who refuses to speak of the Vietnam she fled as a young adult, Vivi is desperate for some connection with her roots and potential family she hasRead More
Make the Yuletide Gay: Season of Love by Helena Greer
This year I decided to clear out my unread shelf, full of holiday romances I never got around to. I’m so glad I picked up Season of Love and gave it a chance, even though my last holiday read left me wanting more. My usual tastes tend to lean away from the pure fluff ofRead More
