I’ve never read a book that would fall into the “low-angst romance” category, until I picked up The Secret Crush Book Club by Karmen Lee. The book is the third in a series that takes place in a quaint small town called Peach Blossom. This Black sapphic romance follows two women in their late 20s, Dani and Zoey,Read More
