Ev | 15 comments I'm looking for enemies to lovers sapphic books to crave my insatiable hunger. I would preferably like BIPOC characters in it, but its not needed.

I don’t know if it exactly counts as enemies, but it’s a pretty good one.

Ah, I should have mentioned I've already read this one. It was so good though so thanks for the rec anyway!


Raquel ☾⋆⁺₊⋆ | 3 comments The Midnight Lie is so good, but it's not exactly enemies to lovers

Denisse Escobedo | 2 comments I don’t know if you have read it before but “Delilah Green Doesn’t Care” it’s really good too

- Crier's War by Nina Varela
- Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating by Adiba Jaigirdar (although it's more "our personalities clash and we don't always get along" than "enemies")
- This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
- Wilder Girls by Rory Power
- Beyond the Ruby Veil by Mara Fitzgerald (although the romance happens in the second book from what I can tell)
- Not My Problem by Ciara Smyth
- The Weight of the Stars by K. Ancrum
- Sweet & Bitter Magic by Adrienne Tooley
- Her Royal Highness by Rachel Hawkins
- Love & Other Natural Disasters by Misa Sugiura (not enemies so much as getting off on the wrong foot but it's a love square between 4 BIPOC sapphics so I thought I'd rec it)
- Gearbreakers by Zoe Hana Mikuta

AwkwardReader (awkwardcloset) | 2 comments The Midnight Girls by Alicia Jasinska is really good! I read it in a single day. It could also be considered rivals to lovers but i think it’s also enemies to lovers :)

captain copper | 2 comments Pirates of Aletharia by Britney Jackson. I wouldnt call them enemies but here is a lot of hatred for one another. Definitely a good read.

Tysm! I haven't read a pirate book yet so this is great!

ReadingMermaid | 26 comments I think someone already mentioned these, but Gearbreakers is incredible, and She Drives Me Crazy is cute. Also, The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea isn't quite enemies to lovers (if I remember right, its more like mutual distrust to grudging respect to unlikely pair to lovers?? Idk maybe I'm wrong) but I'd recommend that as well.

Holly☁️ (hollyberry24) | 2 comments I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston is a perfect enemies to lovers, both MCs are white but the friendship group has some BIPOC characters!


message 26: by abby ✿ (new)

abby ✿ (jo march's version) | 1 comments the henna wars by adiba jaigirdar! it was really good and both main characters are woc, though its definitely more on the rivals to lovers side of things. i also second the her royal highness rec :)

Echo | 2 comments Charon Docks At Daylight!!!!! :D


message 28: by Stella (new)

Stella ☆Paper Wings☆ | 34 comments another great enemies to lovers with sapphic pirates is The Abyss Surrounds Us!


message 29: by Ailis (new)

Ailis Moreno (alienaras) The jasmine throne!! it has great enemies to lovers, the plot is great and it's set in India.

Ness (Vynexa) (vynexareads) | 2 comments Guava Flavored Lies by J.J. Arias is Childhood Rivals-to-Lovers. They're in their late 20's/early 30's and there is no 3rd act break up :)


message 31: by Olivia Klein (new)

Olivia Klein (oklein) | 1 comments The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri! It's my favorite book right now and I keep telling everyone about it. The setting is inspired by the landscape of India and it's got a great enemies to lovers storyline. But it's also so much more than that.


message 32: by eris ! (new)

eris ! she her (mrsdllway) | 3 comments i highly recommend The Sky Weaver, its a fantasy enemies to lovers between a thief and the chief of the kings guard, it has dragons, pirates, drama, gods, the whole thing.
