The sex therapist next door.

I have always been the type to NEVER dnf a book. Like I usually refuse because I can’t stand leaving something unfinished. But what the hell is going on??

>!Am I the only one who got whiplash during the last 1/4 of this book? Diana’s behaviour is gross. The whole book we are told to feel sorry for her for her past abusive relationship but shes out here showing SERIOUS red flags. She switches personalities in a flash and is completely unreasonable even when Jude doesn’t retaliate in the slightest. And when she leaves Jude sad with no aftercare!? What kind of sex therapist is this woman? Take her license away stat. Not to mention she can’t have a single conversation with her best friend without trying to convince her into having sex. AND SHES THE THERAPIST?!<

I want to be wrong so bad so I can finish this book because I was actually enjoying the first half but the rose tinted glasses are fading. Has anyone else read this? Did you feel the same? I would especially love to hear someone disagree just so I can be convinced to finish and enjoy but damn. Also if anyone agrees let me know I’m not crazy

How about a community exclusively for sapphic books?

Hi everyone! Hope this is okay to share here since the mods kindly said a resource post was fine.

I’m one of the people behind Saphly, a small platform we’re building for sapphic/girlxgirl stories. Me and the co-founder both came from Wattpad, and part of what pushed us to build this was wanting something better for sapphic stories and better representation in online reading spaces.

One thing that really matters to us is representation. On Saphly, readers can search using representation tags across things like gender and sexual identity, ethnic identity, disability and neurodiversity, body diversity, and relationship dynamics, because finding a story that reflects you, or teaches you something real about someone else, should not feel harder than it needs to be.

We’re still small and still building, but the goal is simple: help more sapphic stories get discovered, support the people writing them, and make the online reading space feel more welcoming and intentional.

If anyone wants to check it out, here it is: https://saphly.com

And genuinely, I’d love to hear what kinds of sapphic stories or search filters you’re always hoping to find more of 🥰🙏

Recs that end happily and will NOT make me sob (happy tears are the exception and welcome)

Don’t get me wrong, I typically love a book that shatters me. But I’m in a place right now where my heart simply cannot handle it! Please hit me with:

WLW books I can read right now

WLW books I MUST read, but later on when my heart can handle it again!

Many thanks ✌🏻

If you had to recommend ONE sapphic book to someone to convince them that good sapphic books exist, what would you recommend?

I know there are a lot of genres and such, but just choose a book you think would have the highest success rate of being enjoyed by the most people

My Sapphic Book Tier List and Yap Session Video

Hi I put together a tier list video to rank the 68 sapphic books I read in 2026 so far!

I'm super grateful to this subreddit and adjacent wlw subs for recommending many of these books, because I originally had no idea where to start as a yuri anime/manga girlie. I'd love to discuss these stories with others (even if you disagree with my opinions haha) and am always looking for more recommendations too~

(Lately I've been on a cowboy/western frontier/ranch life kick, so if anyone knows more titles in that genre, pleaseee share)

9/11 book search

Hi! I need help finding a book I’ve read/listened to years ago. It’s been bugging me for some time now and now when I’m listening to Rita Potter’s “What really matters” I thought I’d finally ask for help.

I can’t the whole plot but I do remember the book was about the established couple. I mostly remember the end because it was a bit of a surprise for me. One of the MCs was supposed have a meeting in one of the towers and was presumed dead after both towers fell and days later she comes back to their apartment all bloody and dirty. That’s it. That’s all I remember.

I even searched if it’s the same book but Potter’s book was published in 2025 and the one I’ve been looking for was from several years ago.

Any ideas? Please help.

P.S. I’ll be laughing my ass off if it’s the same book and I really don’t remember anything at all from it.

Sapphic, smutty, literary fiction

Are there any literary fiction novels that are sapphic and smutty? just not in search of cartoon character covers and hoping for more emotional plots.

Looking for ARC readers for a sapphic cozy fantasy romance

Hi! I’m Amber. I’m looking for ARC readers for my queer cozy fantasy romance, The Bramblespell Branch Library. If you’re interested, please sign up with the link below.

Thanks!

Here's what you can expect from The Bramblespell Branch Library:

  • A slow-burn, closed-door sapphic romance
  • A queernormative world
  • A magical cataloging system
  • Found family and community building
  • The information-seeking behaviors of goblins

The full blurb:

Escape to the charming village of Bramblespell, where the tea is hot, the magic is unpredictable, and falling in love was definitely not part of the plan.

When career librarian Kasya accepts a temporary assignment opening a branch library in the remote village of Bramblespell, she sees it as the perfect escape from a failed relationship—and a fast track to a promotion to Library Administration. All she has to do is convince the villagers they want a library before her six-month trial period runs out.

Easy, right?

Instead, Kasya finds herself running a one-room library out of a drafty post office with no funding, no staff, and a grumpy postman for a coworker. But things start looking up when she meets Rima, the village handywoman with a knack for fixing just about anything—and a secret past of her own.

Rima is everything Kasya didn't expect to find in Bramblespell: warm, capable, endlessly intriguing, and increasingly difficult to resist. As friendship turns into something more, Kasya begins to wonder if this temporary assignment might be turning into something far more permanent.

Is Bramblespell just a stepping stone to the career she's always wanted, or has she finally found a home—and the woman she wants to share it with?

Bloom Town Hangover?

Did you like Bloom Town? Then you'll probably likely enjoy my book, When Embers Find Her.

The prequel novella is already out and book 2 is releasing October 1 with the series continuing. She may not be Joey but Sawyer will have you swooning and yearning for your own butch cowgirl. 😉

Books like Gideon the ninth?

Basically the title. I have read the whole series. I really enjoy fantasy/sci fi sapphic books where romance isn’t the main focus but still relevant.

Some others I’ve read are
- priory of the orange tree
- time wars
- crier wars
-jasmine throne

And I’m currently reading a memory called an empire. Please give me any recommendations for my next stop at Barnes and nobles!

Recommendations wanted!

Hi there!

I’m looking for books with lesbians (specifically lesbians, not bisexuals, no male exes, no beards, no past or current marriages to men or any indication of even kissing or crushing on a man) that fit the following genres:

  • Thrillers
  • Horror
  • Drama
  • Sci Fi/Fantasy ONLY if geared towards adults and not YA or teens or romantasy

I haven’t really read much sapphic literature at all, but I’d like to get into it!

Thanks in advance for your help!

Love Galaxy by Sierra Branham

I went into this wanting a bit of a palette cleanse after a lot of heavy sci-fi. It’s exceeded my expectations in so many ways. It starts as a “bachelorette-style dating show for the heir to the Galactic Empire” but evolves to explore some more classic sci-fi themes.

The next book looks like it’s slated to come out in 2027 and I’m excited to see how the characters continue to develop
