#outdrawn

We always need more sapphic romance in our lives and we've really been working to expand our sapphic library! Check the alt text for ID if you are having trouble with reading any of the authors or titles.

Some favs here that we want to highlight:

💜 Meghan is obsessed with AITA? by Cassie Alexander: a short and spicy romance between a demon and the fiancée of the guy that summoned her for a threesome.

❤️ Gabe would like to pitch you Junker Seven by @olivejkelley : anti-establishment space western starring T4T lesbians with a grumpy/sunshine vibe.

💛 One of Nic's top books of last year was Outdrawn by Deanna Grey: rivals-to-lovers webcomic artists falling in love when forced to work together again.

Outdrawn by Deanna Grey

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

QOTD: Do you have any artistic talents?

I do not haha but I often dabble with trying.

This was such a brilliant rivals to lovers romance!

I loved how different and yet how similar Noah and Sage were. They’re both so driven to be the best, fuelled by the constant need to be not just making art, but making the best art. I really loved the way this story explored the different ways they pushed themselves too hard and the impacts it had on both of them.

I adored their slow coming together. They were so right for each other and the progression of their relationship felt so gentle and natural.

Outdrawn

f/f contemporary romance

two cartoonist who’ve been rivals since uni, and now have competing webcomics online, have to work together on the relaunch of a cult classic at the comic press they both work at

rival web comic artists having to work together on a traditionally published comic? it’s sapphic and they’re both black? yeah sign me up

For every day of Black History Month, I will be posting one LGBTQ+ book by a Black author.

Make sure to check the trigger warnings because some of the books I'll be posting deal with heavy and difficult topics. Also note that in some of the books I post, the romance will be a subplot only.

Ok so I finished Outdrawn by Deanna Grey, and I was actually reminded a lot of Still Sick by Akashi! The premises aren’t completely similar, but both are about artists who are coworkers. Noah and Sage have seen each other as rivals since college while Makoto and Akane both keep their mangaka identities hidden and separate from their work life.
