But Hey Guys At Least Not Everything Is Garbage Today.

But hey guys at least not everything is garbage today.

could you rec some wlw ya books? thanksss

this will be so long I hope you’re ready

The Scorpion Rules: literally one of my fave books of all time, amazingly complex villain, amazingly strong bi main character dates adorable lesbian, you will be genuinely confused which side is good and which side is bad, the three main characters are So Good, tw for an unhappy ending (kind of???) okay but this book is so worth it. I think there might be a sequel as well although it can’t possibly live up to the first one. 

Love Letters To The Dead: the wlw “side-romance” is honestly given just as much screentime as (if not more than) the main romance. literally one of my all-time favorite romances in anything ever, I read this book in my questioning phase and it changed my life

This Is Where It Ends: lesbians at a school shooting, primarily non-white characters, you will cry (they both live and stay together)

Lies We Tell Ourselves: 1960s civil rights era lesbians, ends happily. It emphasizes all of the problematic tropes often used in “overcoming racism” stories and why they’re not okay. 

The Abyss Surrounds Us by Emily Skrutskie: lesbian pirate x lesbian sea monster trainer in the future. Literally. There’s a sequel coming soon, and I have faith that it will end happily. The author draws fanart of Swift and Cas kissing and posts it to her tumblr (again, not kidding, there’s some on my blog). otp: equal footing

Far From You by Tess Sharpe: crime thriller with bi / recovering drug addict main character and major f/f romance. Not a happy ending for the couple bc the romance is in the past, but happy ending for the protagonist. 

Exit Pursued By A Bear by EK Johnston: About the main character’s rape and her subsequent abortion. Main character does not have a romance plot, but her best friend (the second most important character) is a lesbian and falls in love with another friend. This one doesn’t belong quite as much, but it’s one of my all time favorite books ever and it’s all about female friendship / love. (ALSO READ HER OTHER BOOK A THOUSAND NIGHTS)

Beauty Queens: f/f romance, one lesbian one bi girl and one trans girl. Hilarious social commentary. Libba Bray also has another hist fiction series that I’ve heard is good and gay, and the first book is called A Great And Terrible Beauty. I’m like fifty pages into it. 

Lies My Girlfriend Told Me: I think the author has other books too but this is the one I’ve read. Basically: Girl #1 finds out her dead girlfriend was cheating on her with Girl #2. Girl #1 and Girl #2 fall in love. 

Ash and Huntress: occur in the same world, although you don’t have to read both. Ash is lesbian cinderella. Huntress focuses more on character development and is my personal favorite, but tw for a bittersweet ending. Malinda Lo also wrote the Adaptation series, featuring a bisexual protag and her alien gf, but that one wasn’t my favorite. I know a lot of people who love it though!

Otherbound: f/f romance, bi girl as main character. There’s literally not a single white character. It’s about body swapping and fantasy! talks frankly about the issues in the main relationship, suspenseful. 

Tricks and sequel Traffick: about kids forced into prositution, so all the tws. among main characters, there’s a gay guy and a bi girl who leans towards women (actual quote from her!). Ignore the back that says “four straight one gay” because it’s a lie. (I had so much fun with that the first time I read these.) Two separate f/f romances and a m/m romance. The bi girl is such an amazing character and I love her with all my heart.

Fat Angie by E. Charlton-Trujillo: A girl sees Angie for who she truly is and they fall in love. Probably the least fatphobic book with a fat main character I’ve ever read, but Angie does have some internalized.

Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld: Lesbian storyline between two authors in New York, ends happily and is paralleled to main romance storyline. 

Everything Leads To You by Nina Lacour: moviemaker lesbians! cheesy as all hell, but adorable and really deep. very much recommended if you’re into moviemaking or acting

Tell Me Again How A Crush Should Feel by Sara Farizan: a cheesefest with racial diversity. 

If You Could Be Mine by Sara Farizan: realistic fiction about what wlw in Iran have to go through. tw for a not-great end, but there’s no death. It’s more about the self-acceptance of the main character than about the romance. Also deals with trans issues. 

Ask The Passengers: a very different sort of book? it’s hard to explain. more about coming out than about romance. 

I’ve read all of these, so ask me if you have any questions about them!

“don’t you get your languages mixed up?”

yeah all the time in fact in my latest Japanese essay I got 0% because I wrote the entire thing in Spanish and my parents are getting increasingly frustrated because I keep talking to them in German rather than British Sign Language
