The Lesbian Review helps you find your next read, listen or watch

Lesbian and Sapphic Fiction

The lesbian and sapphic fiction universe is filled with novels ranging from great to terrible. I remember being overwhelmed by choices and yet found it really difficult to find a good book, never mind the right book. Like today I feel like reading about a princess and a female knight – forget it. It was almost impossible to find those novels.

That is where we come in.

The Lesbian Review is the home of reviews done by women who absolutely LOVE sapphic fiction and who are not just going to read and enjoy every sapphic novel out there. We read a lot and are a tough crowd to please. But that is great news for you because it means we only showcase lesbian and sapphic fiction books that are really good. If we don’t like it, we don’t review it.

We also categorise and tag our books to make it easier for you to find the kind of books you want to read.

Our reading is widespread. We read anything from indie authors to books that are published by the larger lesbian and sapphic fiction publishers. 

Find The Right Lesbian and Sapphic Fiction For You

Here are some helpful tips to help you navigate our site a little better and find books you really want to read.

Lesbian and Sapphic Music

We review a range of lesbian music. And because we are totally awesome, we will often pair music and books to bring you the best of both worlds.

Lesbian and Sapphic Movies and TV
