I guess it’s pride month so it’s fitting, I’m a lesbian woman 32 I’m having trouble finding books with lesbian characters that are not teens or about teen’s struggles I love that gay teens have this much media I wish I had it.
I like fiction but it’s not necessarily the only theme I read.
I have the 7 husbands of Evelyn Hugo can you recommend me something else.
Thanks

Cannot recommend Sarah Waters enough! ❤️❤️❤️
Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield
This is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
Mortal Follies by Alexis Hall (this one is just straight up a romance novel, so skip it if you aren’t into that)
Edit: offhand, I don’t recall the sexual orientations of the characters being explicitly stated in any of the novels listed above, but the MCs are all WLW.
This is a bit different, but *In The Dream House* by Carmen Maria Machado is an incredible memoir about her relationship with another woman. One of my top three all-time favourite books! It’s written as a series of vignettes and short chapters — the structure is very unique, and it’s a fairly quick read.
Machado is bisexual, but all the main romantic relationships depicted in the book are with other women.
