Recs if you like A Good Happy Girl...

these books are both aligned with and offer a queering of ‘weird girl literature’, a genre that manipulates horror, dark comedy, and/or surrealist elements to excavate the internal world of complex and unconventional characters. they are deviant, daring, and perverse reads for the weird queers among us.

*girl in quotation marks to allow this list to extend beyond the binary. recommendations welcome!

Queer women are constantly told that it’s easier to be with a woman, but what if it’s toxic? These stories share the bad and the ugly within lesbian relationships. Lesbian relationships can be just as difficult or abusive as straight ones Sticking to mainly litfic Take care and check TWs Recommendations always welcome

canadian author emily r austin's recommended books, as taken from her website!

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.!
