Recs if you like Afterglow...

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!

Books with fat and plus size main characters. (leave a comment with recommendations!)

monster ladies deserve love too!!! sexy smutty explicit monster lady books 👀🫦👀 recs are welcome because holy shit this is hard to find books of

oh me, oh my, that woman is kinda hot except .. am i seeing things correctly? is that a tail? or horns? or scales? or hooves? or wings? ah— that monster is kinda hot. and who could blame me if i decided i wanted that monster? i wonder ..

(during my search for these, i found a lot of monster romances that used gen ai, so i went through each one to make sure that was not the case. if i missed any, do let me know. if you have any recs, i encourage sharing. ;))

for those of us who watched beauty and the beast and saw the beast fight off those wolves and said “please sir may I have some more” this is your more. requirements: at least one isn’t a human open to suggestions!!

Romance books featuring queer characters living with physical disabilities, mental health struggles, chronic illness, and/or neurodevelopmental conditions.

Be aware: list spans YA to erotica.

🚫 No "magical cure" tropes or "better dead than disabled" tropes welcome. No inspo porn.

Books where the main character is going through it, (or has gone through it), and dammit they’re dealing with it as best they can. Romantasy, SFR mainly! But a few memoirs and litfic too. ❤️‍🩹 Always open to more suggestions ❤️‍🩹

*Check the TW/CW as some of these books are dark romances. If I’ve left a review, I will usually leave a comment w the info

These books all contain femdom. These women take charge in the bedroom. There’s a mix of pairings. Some of these are the gentlest of femdom but I included them because we’re eating crumbs. As always, recs welcome!
