Here are Lyn Denison’s top sapphic reads of 2024:
1. The Piano in the Tree by Jo Havens
Bit by bit Jo blends the past into the present and you’re trapped on an emotion-filled rollercoaster towards an end you want and don’t want to reach as you cry, ‘No. Please. Not that.’
2. Tempting Olivia by Clare Ashton
I just loved Olivia. In fact all the characters are great. There are some wonderful nuances, right down to Olivia’s sentient eyebrow.
3. The Nightingale and the Rose by Jolie Dvorak
Oh, so very satisfying in today’s climate. If only…
4. Serpentine Valentine by Giana Darling
Not for everyone but if you’ve ever just yearned to exact revenge you’ll run with this. Our MC skates on thin ice but you can feel satisfied you’d be there to drag her out if the ice breaks. She deserves someone there to put their arms around her…
5. Who’d Have Thought by G. Benson
A re-read. Many times. Plus a listen to narrator Tanya Eby. It’s comforting and comfortable. I love every character in this fake marriage book, apart from Sam’s parents. Little touches squeeze your heart.
