#Rachel is the boyfriend's girlfriend and the protag

[my-thoughts-and-junk]

Thinking about how the friends cast is my hypothetical ideal horror cast dynamic

#random thoughts #do i??? have a friends tag??? #ross is the asshole boyfriend who is slowly revealed to be the asshole boyfriend without any of his character traits changing #joey is the tough guy who's actually a pussy #chandler is the gay guy who's closeted #phoebe is the eccentric lady who's paired with the tough guy #monica is the boyfriend's sister #Rachel is the boyfriend's girlfriend and the protag

hello!! I was the anon who asked for queer book recs for my girlfriend :) she loves romantic sapphic stories and we're both bi girls so anything in that genre? it's totally cool if you don't but I just wanted to ask :) thanks!

OKAY SO 

CUTE SAPPHIC BOOKS!!!!

Her Royal Highness by Rachel Hawkins is the latest one I read and it’s this girl who goes to Scotland boarding school after a bad break up and her ROOMMATE is a PRINCESS and it’s enemies to allies to friends to lovers and it made me giddy to read. (bi girl narration and lesbian love interest) 

Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli follows a girl who is bi and her best friend, Simon (yes, that Simon) just got a boyfriend and now she is struggling with her feelings for her other’s friend’s newly ex girlfriend. She’s also navigating her senior year of high school and her love of drawing and drumming. (bi girl protagonist and love interest) 

Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit by Jayne Robin Brown is about a lesbian who goes back into the closet as her dad is worried about her safety (I think) when they move to Georgia. This is fine until she meets Mary Carlson, who she makes a connection with, and might also be interested in her. I don’t remember much about this book, but it made me happy and there were lots of lines that made me giggle and I thought it handled Christianity well. (lesbian protag and love interest, if I recall correctly) 

Star-Crossed by Barbara Dee is a middle school book, with a girl who is realizing she is bi when she meets the new girl in her class and is cast as the Romeo to her Juliet. Very cute and super age appropriate. (Bi mc) 

Not Your Sidekick by CB Lee does have a cute love story at the center, but it’s also a superhero story and a government conspiracy. There’s secret identities, and bonding and accidental confessions. It’s so cute and I’m dying to read the rest, which follow the other characters after the book takes place. (bi mc) 

Bonus 

Beauty Queens by Libba Bray has many major characters, three are queer. Sousie is bisexual, Jennifer is a lesbian, and Petra is trans. It’s more focused on friendship and overthrowing the patriarchy, but the rep is quite lovely and it’s one of my favorite book. It’s Lord of the Flies with girls and modern day and happier.

Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston is a mlm romcom book and there is my favorite bi crisis is in this book and the First Son of the US falls in love with the Prince of England and it’s enemies to forced friends to best friends to friends with benefits to madly in love. (bi guy mc and gay love interest) 

On my tbr: 

The Princess and the Faingirl  by Ashley Poston 

Style by Chelsea M. Cameron 

Girls Made of Snow and Glass by Melissa Bashardoust

So I read a lot (and also watch a lot of like Netflix and stuff because I need to constantly have new worlds to lose myself in) but I've recently really been struggling. I am a lesbian, and I just can't really relate to most het romances now, so I've been struggling to find quality gay stuff, but I am kinda picky sometimes but also all over the place and I read really fast and also can only read ebooks and I'm poor. So it's really tough, basically. Idk if you have advice/recs/etc?

i can definitely rec some stuff!

my favorite wlw books (which i’m mostly sure are all available as ebooks):

Labyrinth Lost by Zoraida Cordova (magic, family, and bisexuality)

We Are Okay by Nina LaCour (sad contemporary about grief and secrets)

Of Fire and Stars by Audrey Coulthurst  (princesses falling in love)

also really good:

Once by Julia Heslin (magic quest but in the real world)

Everything Leads to You by Nina LaCour (hollywood and crushes)

Calls by Julia Heslin (ghost girl falls in love with a living girl)

The Second Mango by Shira Glassman (dragon roadtrip)

also have you watched the youtube show Couple-ish?? i love it so much. the protags, if i’m remembering right, are a bi girl, a lesbian, and another person (nonbinary) who’s also bi. basically the premise is that Dee needs a new roommate but then their new roommate Rachel needs to pretend to be their girlfriend to Fool The Government but she really likes Dee’s sister Amy who for Plot Reasons has to pretend to date Dee’s eventual boyfriend (who, of course, really likes Dee). are you following? it’s gr8 and no one is straight

anyway for more recs! here are a couple of rec lists:

wlw in fantasy books

LGBT Fantasy and Scifi Books without Rape or Dubious Consent

LGBT fairytale retellings

lgbt superhero comics

lgbtqa main characters that weren’t killed for shock value
