I am in desperate need of some sapphic book recs. I’ve read the classics like …Evelyn Hugo, Atmosphere, Legends and Lattes, and the like. I really liked Flirting Lessons (because they didn’t do the stupid-not-break-up over a misunderstanding trope). Also I’m limited by what my 2 library cards can get me on Libby (reading physical books is hard for my busy life but I have a long commute for audiobooks). Help? Please? 🙏🏻 Edit: as a they/them it would be really really nice to see some more they/it/ze representation in books!

I've only recently learned the term as I get back into reading again and the concept was so funny to me.

For those that don't know, hate reading something is, to my understanding, continuing to read a book despite hating every second of it.

So far I've only experienced this one time and the reason I didn't fully DNF it (as I plan to return to the book here in the next few days for a personal project) was because I was oddly entertained at how much I hated a book that has a 4 star average rating on goodreads and here, while everyone else seems to love the characters and story.

I'm curious if others have had a book turn into a hate read, or what others' opinions are on hate reading. I don't think I would do it by choice outside of my personal project, but there has been an odd sense of entertain value in reading something that I had a supremely polarizing opposite opinion of to so many other people.
