The Soft Kind – A Tender Sapphic Romcom Full of Longing, Laughter, and Late Blooming, by Jess Harley
If you’re in the mood for a sapphic romcom that feels like a hug in book form—gentle, funny, and quietly powerful—The Soft Kind by Jess Harley might be exactly what you’ve been searching for. With all 5-star reviews, this debut is quickly becoming a favorite among fans of queer romantic comedy.
The Soft Kind is a heartwarming sapphic romcom about Jenny Collins, a woman fresh off a breakup and ready to rebuild her life—one awkward gym class at a time. What starts as a quest for stronger thighs quickly turns into something much messier (and much gayer) when she meets Elodie Lane, a stunning, self-assured model who offers more than just fitness tips. With laugh-out-loud moments, tender queer awakening, and a love interest who’s equal parts intimidating and kind, this is a feel-good lesbian romantic comedy about finding confidence, falling unexpectedly, and embracing softness as strength.
For readers who love:
Sapphic romcoms with emotional depth
Fake dating meets opposites attract
Slow burns that are worth every second
Strong supporting characters (and a mischievous cat named Kevin)
This isn’t just another lesbian romance—it’s a warm, funny, and beautifully written story about second chances, found family, and what happens when you stop trying to be the version of yourself the world expects.
If The Soft Kind was a vibe, it would be: late-night porch talks, sharing blankets, shy glances, and emotional honesty wrapped in humor.
