📚 The Best Lesbian Romance Novels to Fall in Love With (Again and Again) 🌈



 




There’s something special about lesbian love stories. The tension. The longing. The way one small moment can mean everything. And in a world that often erases queer love, finding sapphic romance novels that feel real? It’s like coming home.

Whether you're craving a slow burn, a messy breakup-make-up arc, or that soft “she touched my hand and I forgot how to breathe” energy — these books deliver.

Here are the best lesbian romance novels to read in 2025 and beyond:


💌 1. One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

Vibe: Time-travel, NYC, pancakes, subway love.
Why it’s iconic: August meets Jane on the Q train... and finds out she’s literally stuck in time. It's sapphic, magical, and full of queer joy.


💘 2. Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers

Vibe: Queer burnout meets accidental Vegas marriage.
Why we love it: Grace marries a woman she barely knows, then slowly unravels her heart. It's messy, healing, and very relatable.


🏳️‍🌈 3. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Vibe: Glamour, secrets, bisexual icons.
The tea: Evelyn’s true love story isn’t with any of her husbands—it’s with her. Deeply emotional and beautifully written.


🏠 4. Delilah Green Doesn’t Care by Ashley Herring Blake

Vibe: Big queer energy + small-town chaos.
Why it slaps: Delilah returns home for a wedding and ends up falling for the bridesmaid. Witty, flirty, and full of found family feels.


☁️ 5. The Falling in Love Montage by Ciara Smyth

Vibe: Irish summer fling meets teen angst.
Why it’s cute: Saoirse doesn’t believe in love... until she does. A YA romance that’s fun, honest, and full of feels.


💐 6. Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner

Vibe: Hollywood slow burn, workplace tension.
Why it works: A powerful producer and her assistant are totally not dating... until everyone thinks they are. So they start to wonder, too.


🥺 7. Ask the Passengers by A.S. King

Vibe: Philosophical, poetic, coming-of-age.
Why it’s special: Astrid sends her love into the sky because she can’t say it out loud—yet. For soft gays who like to cry at metaphors.


🛏️ 8. Carmilla by J. Sheridan Le Fanu

Vibe: Victorian horror but make it sapphic.
Why it’s a classic: Before Dracula, there was Carmilla. A lesbian vampire. Enough said.


🔥 9. The Girls I've Been by Tess Sharpe

Vibe: Thriller + queer love + bad b*tch energy.
Why it’s a must-read: Nora's ex and current girlfriend are stuck in a hostage situation with her. Intense, fast-paced, and unapologetically queer.


🌲 10. Beneath the Citadel by Destiny Soria

Vibe: Queer fantasy squad goals.
Why it’s underrated: Rebellion, magic, and a lesbian couple that actually survives. (Yes, we’re shocked too.)

How to Surprise Your Girlfriend with a Vacation

  Whether you've been dating for 3 months or 3 years, there’s nothing more swoon-worthy than surprising your girlfriend with a getaway. A vacation says: "I know you. I love you. Let’s run away for a little while." But planning the perfect surprise trip without her finding out? That takes some skill—and a whole lot of gay magic. Don’t worry babe, I got you. Here’s your step-by-step guide to surprising your girl with a vacation she’ll never forget:  Step 1: Know Her Vibe Before booking anything, ask yourself: Is she more cozy cabin in the mountains or sunset cocktails on the beach ? Does she need rest or adventure? What’s her schedule like? (Surprises are cute...but not if she has a work meeting she can’t miss.) Pro tip: Drop subtle questions weeks before like: “If we could teleport anywhere right now, where would you go?”  Step 2: Pick a Place That Screams Us It doesn’t have to be Paris (but yes, please). Even a weekend road trip to a queer-friendl...

🌈 Billie Eilish Came Out, Kinda. And Honestly? We Felt That.

  Billie Eilish came out—and like everything Billie does, she did it her way . In a world that demands loud declarations and clickbait confessions, Billie just… casually confirmed she’s attracted to women in a Variety interview. No rainbow flags, no long notes app post, no performance. Just vibes. And honestly? That kind of soft, subtle coming out is deeply queer in its own way. 🗞️ What Actually Happened? In late 2023, Billie did a cover story for Variety . When asked about her relationship with women, she said: "I’ve never really felt like I could relate to girls very well. I love them so much. I love them as people. I’m attracted to them as people. I’m really attracted to them." Cue the headlines. Cue the internet spiraling. At a later event, someone asked her if she meant to “come out.” Her response? "Wasn’t it obvious?" "I just didn’t believe people didn’t know." 🖤 Why This Matters (Even If It Was Casual) For Billie, it wasn’t som...
