Here are Aisley’s top sapphic reads of 2023:
1. The Senator’s Wife by Jen Lyon
Gripping slow burn age-gap between a professional soccer player and the Senator’s Wife. Incredibly written, enthralling, Rollercoaster of emotions that kept me sucked in start to finish.
2. A Whisper of Solace by Milena McKay
I have never been so turned on and alternately heartbroken during a book cover to cover. As soon as I finished it I immediately started it over.
3. Don’t Call Me Hero by Eliza Lentzski
Adult angst and situations, trigger warnings with one fragile character and one strong one that uses their love to rescue the other. PTSD and an amazing Ice Queen.
4. Ask, Tell by EJ Noyes
Slow burn age gap that builds during DADT, captivating and relentless love between the 2 FMC’s. Difficult read at times because of heavy subjects, and loved every second of it.
5. One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston
Time travel story, inclusive, also accurate on the LGBTQIA+ history.
