The Sapphic Squad discussion

Hi! I’m looking for a young adult romance with a very femme/lipstick lesbian main character (is that term ok? I know the flag is offensive) or two in a queer relationship.

I kissed Sarah Wheeler is a little like that I think

+1 for I kissed Sarah Wheeler. That was one of my favourite reads so far this year.

TBH there are lots of books out there with primarily-femme, or femme-leaning MCs. It really depends on the kind of femme you need them to be.

If you're looking for books in which the main character is going to enjoy Vogue and have a copy of Pretty Honest on their bed stands, I can recommend: Truth and Measure (age gap, one of the MCs is a fashion designer), Stars Collide (MCs are both pop stars) and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo in which a 1950s actress slays Hollywood. All of these books centre beauty, power and femininity.

For femme MCs whose relationship with traditional beauty norms is a bit more complex (even though they are still super femme) I would recommend Some Girls Do and Codename Villanelle (multi-book slow burn).
