Love this!!
Kalynn Bayron writes a lot of sapphic books. This Poison Heart and You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight specifically I have read and can confirm. I believe Cinderella Is Dead is also according to the synopsis.
I believe Erica Ridley is another. I have only read Insatiable by her to be able to confirm.
this post came at a perfect time for me, thank you for creating :)
Excellent work!
Amazing list! I have some more recs! 🖤 The Flowers I Deserve by Tamara Jerée 🖤 Bitter by Akwaeke Emezi (features a bisexual MC who has relationships with a man and a woman) 🖤 Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron
