Haley Cass knows how to write a friend's to lovers romance. Between this and Those Who Wait, these are two of my favorite sapphic romances! This didn't give me quite the same head over heels feeling TWW did, but this was a close feeling.

Such a cute fluffy (and spicy) sapphic romcom. There wasn't a ton of conflict and no true 3rd act conflict, even when I thought there may be for a minute.

Imogen, Obviously by Becky Albertalli

emotional lighthearted
Such an important story that I know must have been hard for the author. I remember when she was getting backlash for writing queer stories when people assumed she was straight. This was very pointed and I love it for that. Not every coming out story is the same!
