Recs if you like Best Woman...

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!

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!

i'm kicking my feet with anticipation for these books to finally be in my hands (physically or digitally but as always, mostly through my library apps) so it was only right i make a list to share with the class! happy lezzing out in 2026 💌

I wish I had a list like this growing up. So here is a list of books that are queer or otherwise include queer rep, but don’t have a same sex couple on the cover. Let’s help people explore without feeling they have to hide it. This list is for readers of all ages. You’re never too old to explore 😉 If it’s a series, only the first book is listed. Feel free to comment suggestions!

Queerness is essential to the plot, to our lives, and to the authors.

lgbtqia+ stories heavy on the t tbh I love you today!

Finally books where the queers are the main characters and not just background characters. #MainCharacterEnergy ✨️
