You x Me
by Ayla Vejdani
“The poetic language and thoughtful representation offer a smart, sexy panorama of what love can look like.” ~Kirkus Review
Love finds a way - through dating apps, shared playlists, inherited recipes, and sweat-soaked dance floors. In this interconnected collection of modern sapphic stories, six singles navigate the beautiful chaos of finding romance across cosmopolitan cities from Los Angeles to Montreal. Noura swipes right on Luna with a little help from her friends. Maryam and Nilou fall hard after a meet-cute in the copyshop. Paz and Ale rediscover each other, and rehash a decades-old heartbreak. Each story stands alone as a perfect escape, but together they weave a gorgeous tapestry of connection.
Hot, hopeful, and unapologetically glamorous, You x Me celebrates love between queer women and nonbinary people of color, in all its sparkling, complex, and irresistible forms.

Doesn't get more sapphic than a road trip with two best friends who met on Carabiner, a popular queer dating app.
