Recs if you like The Perfect Match...

every struggled to find actual lesbian/sapphic books when at the library or bookstore? so did I!

bc of said struggle, I started to curate a personal list of books that either has lesbian MCs and/or featured a primary sapphic romance.

i haven't read all of these, but I do try my diligence in confirming that they meet the above perimeters, since many books claim to be sapphic when they're not. this is an ever updating list, only fiction for now!

queer/trans south asian books! this list is multi-genre, and so includes queer rep from fantasy, romance, memoirs/non-fiction, poetry, etc.! recs are always welcome :)

We should all be reading queer, all year, but this list is full of upcoming queer books of all makes and models coming out in 2026. If you have a rec to add, just please keep in mind we’re looking for 2026 releases!

collecting all 2026 releases featuring sapphic romance!!

Sport (fictional + real) and competition queer romance recommendations!

Feel free to leave your own recommendations in the comments and I will add them to the list! :)

So many sapphic books are coming out this year, and I’m so excited to read every single one!

We need more rival lesbians!!!!!!!! Sapphic recommendations of any genre welcome 🫶🏻 Can be tame like an office rivalry, conflict of interest, all-out enemies of war and anything inbetween!

I love hockey romances as much as the next person but sometimes you want another sport to take center stage. So here is a collection of sports romance books where one (or all of them) is playing a sport that isn't hockey.

Feel free to leave any recomendations for the list.

(Contains both YA and Adult romance)

Yes, queer and trans folks play sports. These are those books.

Sapphic BIPOC written by BIPOC authors.

Recommendations and requests welcome

Sapphic characters and sports, what could be better?

Sapphic books with POC leads

books that as far as I know are sapphic in some way, that have come out either last year, this year, or next year

I have not read all of these - I do have a life

As a sapphic soccer fan, I figured I’d create a list that combines the two! As always, open to recs!

Football (soccer, if you must) romances.

this list features upcoming books that feature sapphic MCs or romance and are releasing in 2026!

I recently got into sports romances (yes, because of Heated Rivalry) and most of the book recs I've seen are either queer OR by authors of color, so I wanted to make a list with books that are both! Please let me know if there are any I should add.
