I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston-

“Chloe Green is so close to winning. After her moms moved her from SoCal to Alabama for high school, she’s spent the past four years dodging gossipy classmates and a puritanical administration at Willowgrove Christian Academy. The thing that’s kept her going: winning valedictorian. Her only rival: prom queen Shara Wheeler, the principal’s perfect progeny.

But a month before graduation, Shara kisses Chloe and vanishes.

On a furious hunt for answers, Chloe discovers she’s not the only one Shara kissed. There’s also Smith, Shara’s longtime quarterback sweetheart, and Rory, Shara’s bad boy neighbor with a crush. The three have nothing in common except Shara and the annoyingly cryptic notes she left behind, but together they must untangle Shara’s trail of clues and find her. It’ll be worth it, if Chloe can drag Shara back before graduation to beat her fair-and-square.

Thrown into an unlikely alliance, chasing a ghost through parties, break-ins, puzzles, and secrets revealed on monogrammed stationery, Chloe starts to suspect there might be more to this small town than she thought. And maybe—probably not, but maybe—more to Shara, too.”

The Falling in Love Montage by Ciara Smyth-

“Saoirse doesn’t believe in love at first sight or happy endings. If they were real, her mother would still be able to remember her name and not in a care home with early onset dementia. A condition that Saoirse may one day turn out to have inherited. So she’s not looking for a relationship. She doesn’t see the point in igniting any romantic sparks if she’s bound to burn out.

But after a chance encounter at an end-of-term house party, Saoirse is about to break her own rules. For a girl with one blue freckle, an irresistible sense of mischief, and a passion for rom-coms.

Unbothered by Saoirse’s no-relationships rulebook, Ruby proposes a loophole: They don’t need true love to have one summer of fun, complete with every cliché, rom-com montage-worthy date they can dream up—and a binding agreement to end their romance come fall. It would be the perfect plan, if they weren’t forgetting one thing about the Falling in Love Montage: when it’s over, the characters actually fall in love… for real.”

THE FALLING IN LOVE MONTAGE.

“How about life's too short to be second-guessing yourself the whole way? You can only go with what you feel right now and if you feel like it might make you happy, even for a while, jump in with both feet, girl, and get wet.”

It's a pet peeve of mine that straight women call their friends "girlfriends." They are not your girlfriends. If you are not getting up close and personal with the lady garden then there are words for that: friends, mates, buddies, pals, etc., etc. Leave us our word, OK?

the best YA sapphic books i've read, aka some fluffy book recs

The Gay Girl's Guide to Ruining Prom by Siera Maley

When Zoey's friend Skylar gets stood up at prom, Skylar sends her on a mission: revenge. Zoey sets out to find Chelsea, capture her heart, and then abandon her. The only problem is, Chelsea and Zoey have history.

I LOVED this book. It's one of my top comfort reads; it's well-written, neatly paced, ✨fun✨ at some points and heart-melty at others. 6/5 give it a read!

Home Field Advantage by Dahlia Adler

Ruby is a cheerleader, slated to cheer for (and by extension, seduce) the new quarterback, Jack, who's just transferred from a nearby school for senior year. Only, Jack is short for Jaclyn. Homophobia, misplaced grief, and keeping up appearances pose a serious threat to Ruby and Jack's budding relationship.

Another comfort read. Dahlia Adler is such a talented author, and this is for sure one of her best works.

The Falling-in-Love Montage by Ciara Smyth

TBH, I don't remember a lot about this book- it's been a minute and I'm too lazy to look up the synopsis. Basically a girl meets her best friend's swoony cousin and they make a pact to act out all the romcom tropes- without the falling-in-love part. Obviously.

Like I said, it's been a hot minute since I read this, but it was one of the first WLW romances I read, and it has a special place in my heart. It's also fucking HILARIOUS.

The Falling in Love Montage by Ciara Smyth

4.5/5

This book was really adorable. The main character has an incredibly strong voice throughout the novel which showed her flawed perspective on her relationships with everyone in her life towards the beginning of the book, and beautifully illustrated her growth. The relationship was cute, but the real story was about Soairse allowing herself to open up and care about people.

It was a coming of age story that was really relatable. It’s hard to learn how to open up to people when it’s never been a natural part of how you interact with people. I loved the moments when Soairse finally did open up to people and realized that her fear had no basis in reality.

“I finally thought that maybe we could share some things without the world cracking open and swallowing me whole.”

It also got easier throughout the book for her to open up to everyone in her life, and I especially loved the two people she opened up to right at the end (I was hoping it would happen the entire book). The more she told people about the things that were truly important to her and admitted her ‘weaknesses’ the stronger and more confident she became.

Review: Not My Problem

Not My Problem by Ciara Smyth

CW: Classism, Poverty, Bullying, Underage Drinking, Alcohol Relapse, Cheating, Injury

4.5/5

This book is for fans of She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen, heist movie fanatics, certainly fans of Ciara Smyth's The Falling In Love Montage, and anyone up for a queer Irish rom-com. I absolutely loved this book, so bear with me as I get the stuff I wasn't in favor of out of the way. First, while the inner monologue of main character, Aideen, is hilarious and enthralling, it doesn't always translate well for the audiobook. There were moments where it was clear what was being quipped inside her head vs out loud and there were moments when it was indistinguishable. My only other problem was that the book seemed to toe the line of believing it isn't valid to be an angry feminist. However, I do think it came around in the end.

Now, I've told you this, why should you read it? Simple! It is a wonderful book you won't want to put down! Aideen is snarky, creative, impulsive, a big dreamer, and dealing with hard times at home. When she finds herself in a position to give her enemy, Meabh (pronounced: Meve) an injury, she accepts. Meabh is a perfectionist, an environmental activist, bossy, and afraid of letting her dad down. She's also running for class president and needs Aideen to push her down the stairs to buy her time. In exchange, Meabh will owe her one.

Now Kavi, he sees the whole thing, but he wants in. He's got a touch of FOMO, a large dose of hilarity, and a decent portion of sweetheart. He's a himbo, if you're familiar with the term. Kavi mistakenly believes that Aideen is used to doing things like this for people. So with a push from him, Aideen keeps doing favors. Along the way she accidentally forms herself a social circle of misfits, perfect for a heist, should one come along.

Not My Problem will leave you laughing and crying. Aideen and her friends have a lot on their plates as they deal with high school, bullying, the problems afflicting our planet, and complicated home lives. Get ready for Kavi's stories (especially one in Chapter 23), Aideens gym excuses, the favors, how much Aideen will do for her mom, and of course a cute enemies-to-lovers story. Enjoy!
