There are numerous good books in the genre. What troupes do you like? Second chance romance, erotica, erotic romance, age-gap, enemies to lovers?

My books have some of those thing, and they are all set in my home country, New Zealand.

Oehh could you give me some recs too?

One book that features a couple of f/f relationships (as well as a couple of m/m's) and involves fame/celebrities is the Jen Wilde book "Going Off Script", it is YA, but it is also very pro-LGBT+. Decent book, especially for the specific category you are looking for.

- Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers

- Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo

- Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie Flagg

- Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner

Read Gearbreakers by Zoe Hana Mikuta. It is sapphic with enemies to lovers and found family.

Here's a list of f/f celebrity romances that I put together for a reading challenge a few years ago:
https://jae-fiction.com/celebrity-rom...

One of the categories of this year's reading challenge features musicians, and some of them are famous too:

Most of these are YA, but I think some might be Adult and some are Middle Grade. The majority also take place in the US. Some of these don't have sapphic romance as a plotline, but they all have sapphic mcs.

- Her Royal Highness (second book in a series)
- Alice Isn't Dead (I'm pretty sure it's a novel retelling of the podcast)
- Spellsters (it's a series, and I know nothing about it, but there are queer people)
- The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet (part of a series, the sapphics aren't really a big plotline, and they're not really romantic, but they are there, and it's an amazing series)
- Lumberjanes comics (there's a lot of queer rep in this series, but in terms of sapphics: there's a main sapphic romance and a background one with an ace character)
- Color Outside the Lines anthology (I think there's one or two sapphic stories)
- The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy (second in a series, not explicitly sapphic but a little bit)
- The Dreamer Trilogy (there is some very faint sapphicness)
- Aru Shah (series, one of the characters is a bi girl, but it's barely mentioned)
- Let's Talk About Love (the main romance is m/f, but the mc is a bi-ace girl)
- A Tyranny of Petticoats anthology (some of the stories feature queer girls)
- All Out and Out Now (anthologies, some queer girls)
- Rule of Wolves (second in a series)

and a bunch more i can't remember

a lesson in vengeance is really good. it’s not what you expect though.

Her body and other parties by Carmen Maria Machado, it’s really beautifully written (you may want to check tw)

hey! does anyone have any wlw christmas rom-com-ish book recs? definitely my fav obscure book genre and ive been looking everywhere for more

hi guys does anyone have any good action wlw books recs? (bonus if romance have a huge part)

Lucky 7 is a sci-fi near-future dystopia, BIPOC main couple (Mexican femme, Black Russian stud), diverse main cast including a transwoman/Palestinian non-binary married couple. It's a heist story/series, this book is about collecting the team. It's steamy and high adventure with a ton of explositions. I haven't read the second yet but loved it!

Cute Mutants Vol 1: Mutant Pride is X-Men but gayer, MC is F and pan, heaps of supporting cast are also sapphic, several are BIPOC (I think one is Maori or Pasifika I can't remember sorry, multi-racial Chinese/white, Korean). One of their team members is transmasc. Becomes more wlw as the series goes on, I think. Superhero books, obviously. Set in New Zealand!! I was excited about that. The romantic relationships were important subplots that will probably get more important in the later series (I've only read book 1). I think it's a completed series too, so you don't have to wait, whereas I don't think the final Lucky book is out yet iirc.
