From sweet to spicy, 2023’s sapphic releases had it all. 'Count Your Lucky Stars' by Alexandria Bellefleur is a second-chance romance with electric chemistry. 'Delilah Green Doesn’t Care' by Ashley Herring Blake (paperback release) is a small-town charmer with snark and heart. For fantasy lovers, 'the unbroken' by C.L. Clark offers a slow-burn romance amid political rebellion. Each book is a celebration of queer joy and resilience.

2023 was an absolute gem of a year for queer love stories. One standout is 'The Fiancée Farce' by Alexandria Bellefleur—a fake-dating rom-com with hilarious banter, heartwarming moments, and a dash of family drama. Another favorite is 'Something Wild & Wonderful' by Anita Kelly, which follows two women hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, blending adventure with tender romance.

For historical fiction lovers, 'The Secret Life of Albert Entwistle' by Matt Cain (though technically 2022, its popularity soared in 2023) offers a touching late-in-life coming-out story. If you prefer something steamy and suspenseful, 'Thornhedge' by T. Kingfisher reimagines a fairy tale with a sapphic twist. Lastly, 'Girls Like Girls' by Hayley Kiyoko (based on her hit song) is a YA masterpiece full of yearning and self-discovery. Each book brings something unique to the table, whether it's humor, depth, or sheer escapism.

I’m obsessed with sapphic romances that feel both fresh and deeply emotional, and 2023 delivered big time. 'The Seven Year Slip' by Ashley Poston is a magical realism love story about a woman who falls for someone stuck in her past—utterly poetic and achingly romantic. 'The Pairing' by Casey McQuiston (yes, the 'Red, White & Royal Blue' author!) explores a friends-to-lovers trope with their signature wit and chemistry.

For darker, gothic vibes, 'A Grave Talent' by Laurie R. King (reissued with new queer themes) is a must. And if you crave fluff, 'Meet Me in Madrid' by Verity Lowell is a cozy academia romance with globe-trotting charm. These books aren’t just about love; they’re about finding yourself in someone else’s story.

2023’s sapphic romances had me in a chokehold! 'Carmilla and Laura' by S.D. Simper reimagines the classic vampire tale with lush prose and a haunting love story. For contemporary fans, 'Just As You Are' by Camille Kellogg is a hilarious office romance between a cynical writer and her sunshiney boss.

I also adored 'The Lesbiana’s Guide to Catholic School' by Sonora Reyes—a YA novel about secret crushes and cultural identity. And let’s not forget 'honey girl' by Morgan Rogers, which mixes drunken Vegas weddings with existential crises. These books are perfect for anyone who wants love stories that feel real, messy, and beautiful.

Don't Date Your Best Friend (The Unfolding Duet 2 Books)
Don't Date Your Best Friend (The Unfolding Duet 2 Books)
He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs. But it was too late. Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool, dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with. That kiss should have never happened. It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it. Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make. Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything. PREVIEW: “If you don’t want to kiss me then... let’s swim.” “Yeah, sure.” “Naked.” “What?” “I always wanted to try skinny dipping. And I really want to get out of these clothes.” “What if someone catches you... me, both?” “We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.” His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute. “Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...” “Fine.” His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”

Are There Any Sapphic Romance Books Turned Into Movies?

As someone who spends way too much time buried in sapphic literature and film adaptations, I have a few favorites that really stand out. 'Carol' by Patricia Highsmith, originally titled 'The Price of Salt,' is a beautifully crafted novel that was adapted into the 2015 film 'Carol' starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. The chemistry between the leads is electric, and the film captures the quiet intensity of the book perfectly. Another gem is 'The World Unseen' by Shamim Sarif, which she also adapted into a film in 2007. It’s a historical romance set in 1950s South Africa, exploring love and racial tensions with a delicate touch. For something lighter, 'D.E.B.S.' is a fun, campy action-comedy based on a short film, featuring a sapphic romance between a spy and a villain. These adaptations prove that sapphic stories can thrive on both the page and the screen, offering diverse perspectives and emotional depth.

As someone who adores sapphic romance books and has built a sizable collection, I can recommend several places to find physical copies. Local LGBTQ+ bookstores are fantastic; they often carry a curated selection and support indie authors. Stores like 'The Book Catapult' in San Diego or 'Glad Day Bookshop' in Toronto are gems. Online, 'Bookshop.org' is great for ordering while supporting local bookstores, and 'Amazon' has a vast inventory, though I prefer indie options when possible. For niche titles, 'Bella Books' and 'Bywater Books' specialize in sapphic literature, offering everything from contemporary romances to historical fiction. I’ve also found treasures at conventions like 'BookCon' or 'OutWrite,' where authors sell signed copies. Don’t overlook libraries—many can order books for you, and some even host LGBTQ+ book fairs. Thrift stores and used bookshops occasionally have hidden gems, though it’s hit or miss. Building a sapphic romance library takes patience, but the hunt is part of the fun.

Many indie and mainstream publishers now prioritize audiobook adaptations, so platforms like Audible, Libby, and Scribd are treasure troves for sapphic romance lovers.
