Hey all! This week is #LesbianVisibilityWeek, and with both Sasha and I being sapphic girls and me (Amber) being a lesbian, we thought this would be a perfect time to bring you all a small list of books that have at least 1 lesbian MC! I got a bit carried away when making this so each book will have a line or two of synopsis to avoid this post being too long 🙂 Hope you enjoy ❤ – Amber & Sasha
