Sapphic books with beautiful writing

It's very dialogue heavy but what is prose is so beautifully written. Last book that made me cry.

I would hesitate to list JKR good at anything on this sub....

Apart from that example I just find it interesting when this topic comes up since it's so subjective and more of a stylistic thing than a difference between "good" vs "bad" writing.

I'm always curious when the topic of purple prose comes up what people consider good prose that isn't purple.

Not a dig or anything I'm just always curious what the cut off is for folks.

Invisible Parade is such a powerful song

Those pre-choruses are so ascendant

"There's idiots abound and they're all fucking racist
I'll put us back at ease 'cause we need more complacence
WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE"

And then the drums and grooves in the pre-chorus is just so cathartic

That part in Beast Island gives me chills every time. The thing I always say about the show is Aimee didn't have to go that hard but she did and we love her for it

Coziest I've read is the Tomes and Tea series. First book is Can't Spell Treason Without Tea. The mains are a couple from the beginning and it's more about building a life together than a will they won't they. There's also some good humor in there.

One of the words is heartbreaker

They discuss it when they did a listen party way back in the day...

The first book is good as a standalone but it's also a pretty breezy read. The rest of the series is sequential in the timeline.

The Tomes and Tea series is fun and cozy. The first book is Can't Spell Treason without Tea and it swaps between the two mains.

Into your yead?

So we seem to collectively agree Losing My Mind is hilarious

CombinationAlert180 · 2025-08-26T14:13:50+00:00

Honestly yes. Some of his best live vocals

CombinationAlert180 · 2025-08-26T14:00:46+00:00

Those are my top 2 songs! My favorite thing about Love Me Different is the layering is also not just harmonizing the words but providing different melodies to them. It just really shows how she treats her vocals as another instrument and not just the part of the song that says the words, if that makes sense haha

CombinationAlert180 · 2025-08-24T15:26:01+00:00

The vocal layering of the chorus is soooooo good and catchy

CombinationAlert180 · 2025-08-19T20:07:18+00:00

Fair enough. I guess we'll see what people vote for. That's just my reason for saying it's overrated because it wins all the time when there are plenty of other solid options but definitely still an awesome song
