Where romantic/sexual orientations play a major role (YA):

Dress Codes for Small Towns by Courtney C. Stevens This has all the love and all the friendships. It's not specifically wlw but it talks about romance and love and feelings in general in a very poignant way.
Seven Ways We Lie by Riley Redgate Again, there are so many different people in this book and I just adored every second with them. Also, on page pansexual identification, I stan.
Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills Two side characters are in a lesbian relationship and throughout the story you learn more about how they got together and what happened to them. I loved how well all the conversations flow.

Could you let me know what you think of Sculpt Yourself? It was written and narrated by two bi women and centers three women (two of whom are dating) as they navigate body image, relationships, careers, and feminism in a near-future Chicago with the advent of a new drug which allows people to literally change the shape of their bodies.

my library does not own this book, and I am not really interested in the subject matter. But maybe someone else will be.
