Whether you’ve read every sapphic romance under the sun or are just starting your journey, this is a safe, welcoming space to make new friends, share your thoughts, and celebrate love in all its beautiful diversity.
Come for the books, stay for the laughter, and leave with a heart full of joy (and maybe a few new friends!). We can’t wait to meet you and chat about our latest sapphic read.
Space is limited, so make sure you save your spot early for our sunny July edition.
🚗 July’s Pick - Here We Go Again by Alison Cochrun
The sun is shining, the air is warm, and summer is finally here - what better time to pack your bags and hit the open road, even if it’s only in the pages of a book?
Set against the backdrop of a cross-country road trip, Here We Go Again is more than just a journey from point A to point B. It’s about the winding roads of the heart, the detours of old friendships, and the unexpected destinations we find when we’re brave enough to start over.
You’ll meet Logan and Rosemary, childhood best friends turned exes, whose lives take a wild turn when they’re thrown together for one last adventure before everything changes. As they navigate scenic routes, roadside diners, and the memories that still spark between them, they’ll discover that sometimes the best way forward is to go back to the beginning.
Here We Go Again is a celebration of second chances, queer joy, and the messy, beautiful process of letting yourself be seen. It’s a story about the courage to be vulnerable, the warmth of found family, and the kind of love that shows up when you least expect it - and maybe, just maybe, when you’re willing to take a detour.
Join us as we celebrate every love story, because this one’s a road trip you won’t want to miss!
