Calling all sapphic romance lovers! Whether you’re a longtime fan of women-loving-women stories or just discovering the magic of queer romance, Pride & Petals is thrilled to host a free, in-person Sapphic Romance Book Club right here in Oakland.

Our mission is simple: to bring together readers who share a passion for heartfelt stories, swoon-worthy characters, and authentic LGBTQ+ representation. Join us for an evening of lively discussion, tasty snacks, and genuine community connection. 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!). Space is limited, so be sure to save your spot early for this month’s Friendsgiving edition.

🥧 November’s Pick - I’ll Get Back to You by Becca Grischow

It’s Thanksgiving weekend in a small Midwestern town, and two former classmates strike a deal: fake-date through the holiday to solve their very real problems - family pressures, exes, and a looming academic mess.

Murphy’s stuck at home and desperate for a reset; Ellie’s back for the long weekend, equally in need of backup. Cue one pact, one holiday table, and a cascade of feelings neither planned on. What starts as “pretend” at a crowded Thanksgiving dinner turns into late-night confessions, chaotic family moments, and a second chance that might actually stick.

It’s cozy, funny, and gloriously queer—the fake-dating, home-for-the-holidays sapphic romance your November needed.
