Recs if you like Acts of Service...

An emergent subgrene by and about strange women on themes of female rage, sisterhood, hunger, attraction, beauty, motherhood, violence, and much more.

in progress

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

an oddly specific trend i’ve noticed, mostly in genres like horror, weird girl, feminine rage, etc. (but there are some others here, too) 💁🏻

Following women on journeys to do weird and maybe violent things.

in which nothing happens or a lot happens, but sometimes it feels like nothing at all.

also known as: lit fic that feels like a dream or a nightmare or a hallucination.

The ladies on these covers just need a damn break.

A list of books I have come across when looking for books that fit this theme. Please leave a comment if there is something I should add.

books that fall in the “woman unraveling” subgenre. life is so much, and sometimes the only way we know how to react is to spiral…. for better or worse !

All sorts of stories about all sorts of women. Mostly litfic, some horror.

a raw & unfiltered lens on desire, obsession, intimacy and the desperate, destructive need to feel - about women who don't fit society's image of femininity, love and relationships

any book that focuses on a queer person or relationship, as someone falls apart or behaves questionably. think: age gaps, abusive dynamics, women unraveling, etc.!

A book club by KAIA GERBER and ALYSSA REEDER to highlight books that aren’t on the typical bestseller lists in order to better support debut writers, new voices and overlooked stories.

great books with pink covers. not an exhaustive list.

Where intimacy is labour and feelings are billable. Therapists, streamers, friends-for-hire, trauma influencers - the new side hustles of the soul.
