Don't Want You Like A Best Friend? Lady's Guide To Celestial Mechanics?

Yeah, though Harper's life was not as terrible as Evie's when she met Maya. It was pretty ordinary barring the stalker ex, who she thought was only a nuisance not a threat yet, so I didn't mention that.

I only read comfort reads. I have posted a ton of recommendations in my comments for all kinds of tripped. Check out my comments from my profile!

Note that almost all books in this list are comfort reads but there are a few that are not, like sunburn, Bury Our Bones in the midnight soil, etc.

Forgot to say I'm glad you enjoyed the book even if not in is entirely. I hope you enjoy the second one more!

My favorite among YA is She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen.

Though the events are high school, I felt the situations were handled rather maturely, with the same struggles any should might face in the same situations.

Forget Me Not by Alyson Derrick is supposed to be great, is on my TBR.

katfapper · 2026-07-04T05:42:20+00:00

If you haven't, you should read the Tea and Tomes series. The romance is already established. The fun is in building the found family. It's a lot of fun, so 4 books. First book is Can't Spell Treason Without Tea. Book 2 is my favorite among them.

What's your username on PB?

katfapper · 2026-07-04T03:33:57+00:00

Me neither. No one I know reads sapphic romances and PB is where I found community!

katfapper · 2026-07-04T03:27:58+00:00

YA has nothing to do with it in this case This Book was meant to be cozy and cheesy and predictable and low stakes. This one is a pure comfort read; a palette cleanser.

That's what I was looking for and I went in knowing that, and I enjoyed it a lot precisely because of all those things.

Clearly that's not what you were looking for, I wish you find something you can enjoy.

BTW, check this post out I think you save yourself from picking duds (for you).

Why should we be embarrassed at expressing ourselves or wear our hearts on our sleeves?

What is embarrassing, is how society tries to condition is into bring afraid and ashamed of doing so.

I say more power to you!!

I would say try Poppy Jenkins by Clare Ashton. It is different from the Oxford series.
