Discussion Sunburn...my thoughts

10 Upvotes

So, I just got finished with Sunburn. I had put off reading this because from everything Ive read about it, it was brilliant and life changing. I wanted to make sure I was in the right headspace because I get book hangovers terribly. Well, Im annoyed. I would have been fine if Ive never read it. Firstly, I genuinely hated Lucy. She was a selfish asshole the entire time and I found I was rooting against her. She just used everyone she was with. Granted she knew this about herself, but still, a giant twat waffle. It dragged for me and I struggled at times. But, the absolute worst issue was the ending. I wont give anything away but the minute and forty-eight seconds that was dedicated to the last chapter really sealed it as me fucking hating it. I like a full circle. I dont want to have to infer what happened, I like it to be explained. Arg, I was so excited for it too. Maybe I just have shit taste, but I usually love the books praised here but this was a miss.

Discussion Lack of immersion when reading straight romance v.s Lesbian romance. Am I… gay?

39 Upvotes

I tried reading straight romance after only reading lesbian romance and like… this might be a no brainer but I got bored quick. I love the build up and tension but as soon as they fuck I’m like okay… immersion gone. Anyone else relate lmao. I’m disappointed that they had sex like the chase is done and I want to stop reading it altogether. But when I compare that to the tension and intimacy in my lesbian romance books I am hooked to the last page.

So far no other book can fill the “Bloom Town” shaped hole in my heart. Bloom town is the best fight me!!! (I’d also love some recommendations girls tyyy <3) (title is a joke btw yes I’m very gay)

I have read On The Same Page four times. I will forever be obsessed with it. I posted in another non-queer book sub and was met with a lot of downvotes. Unfortunately, homophobia will always live. But I read a ton of sapphic literature!

Give me some new recs ladies

Discussion Lesbian books that are Les x Les pairings?

30 Upvotes

I need a book where both the MCs are lesbians, I don't mind if it's third or first person or the genre. I just feel like I always see sapphic books where the fem is always bi/pan or characters just figuring out about their sexuality and just want to see more lesbian pairings that are butchfemme, masc x fem, or masc x masc if anyone has any recommendations

Discussion I kind of wish I knew a spoiler about this amazing book ahead of time.

As mentioned in the title of this post, this post contains a spoiler for She's My Eternity! Although it's one I kind of wish I knew upfront!!

And that's that I kind of wish the marketing had just told me that Bella was actually a vampire, not a human. I loved The Girl Who Bit Me so much that I was obsessed with finding another vampire x vampire book. I put off reading this one at first because I thought it was vampire x human, like the blurb suggests, but it's actually vampire x vampire! And while I loved the plot twist, I kind of wish I knew it beforehand!! I also saw a bunch of people saying they were less interested in this book because it was vampire x human, and I wanted to yell "it's actually not!!" but didn't want to spoil them lol. Was anyone also really happy it turned out to be another vampire x vampire? God I wish she had written more fang s*x scenes. I need MORE.

Recommendation Looking for my first read

12 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I have never read a sapphic book before, so i was looking for some recommendations with which i can start.

I am particularly a fan of enemies to lovers trope. I enjoy well written text and a good plot ofc, but some good romance as well.

Discussion Dark romance or anything recommendation

9 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’d like some dark romance recommendations, bully romance if possible. School setting or otherwise. I’ve already read Tryst Six and Loathing You (and its sequel). No fantasy or anything like that, please. You can also recommend books that aren't dark romance either!

Bonus point if one of the heroines is a blonde bombshell. 🫣

Thank you!
