Lesbian Rom-Com The Soft Kind Will Make You Cry, Laugh, and Fall in Love in the Softest of Ways (Amazon & Kindle)
If you’ve ever caught feelings in a fitness class or spiraled into gay panic at the casual kindness of a hot woman, then Jess Harley’s The Soft Kind is about to hit you right in the heart—and the funny bone.
This laugh-out-loud lesbian rom-com is tender, chaotic, and deeply relatable. It’s book 3 in Harley’s Second Chances: A Lesbian Romance series, but it stands perfectly on its own—so you can dive in even if you haven’t read the others.
💪🏽 Compression Tops, Gym Crushes, and Queer Chaos
Meet Jenny Collins—chronically anxious, recently heartbroken, and completely over shrinking herself for people who don’t deserve her. After a soul-sucking breakup (and one too many emotional episodes in M&S changing rooms), she sets her sights on something manageable: tone her thighs, maybe feel something again, and avoid crying in public.
But then Elodie Lane walks into her life like a gentle, slow-burn thunderclap in yoga pants.
Elodie is everything Jenny is not: confident, calm, and stunning in a way that makes Jenny short-circuit. Is Elodie just friendly? Is Jenny actually into women? Or is she just about to faint in a compression top again?
🧡 Why The Soft Kind Stands Out
There are plenty of sapphic romances on the market—but few nail the voice of messy, vulnerable, late-blooming queer women quite like this one. The Soft Kind is:
A queer coming-of-age story for grownups
A slow-burn sapphic romance full of gym flirtations and soft smiles
A hilarious WLW love story where internalized doubt meets external swooning
An ode to second chances—not just in love, but in being yourself
Jess Harley delivers razor-sharp humor, endearing awkwardness, and moments of raw emotion that make you both ache and cheer. Jenny’s journey is painfully relatable and ultimately empowering, especially for readers navigating their own identity or healing from love that didn’t serve them.
🎯 For Readers Who Love:
Lesbian rom-coms with real emotional depth
Funny sapphic fiction (with just the right amount of steam)
WLW books about falling for your gym crush
Queer awakening stories that aren’t centered on trauma
Second-chance love stories that feel earned
Whether you’ve been out for years or just figuring things out like Jenny, The Soft Kind offers a safe, sweet, and sharply funny place to land.
📘 Final Thoughts
If you're craving a feel-good lesbian romantic comedy with real heart, pick up The Soft Kind. It's a love story about learning to be brave, to take up space, and to let yourself soften in the arms of someone who really sees you.
This is not just a gym crush. It’s a full-blown emotional glow-up.
Perfect for fans of sapphic slow burns, awkward kisses, and stories that leave you smiling through tears.
