wlw books where their relationship doesn't end tragically?

[mabry]

maybe it's just me but i feel like wlw relationships in media are so often doomed to a tragic fate. i'd love to hear some recs that don't end in flames (literally and metaphorically), so if anyone has any they'd be much appreciated!

hi, here are some i’ve read
- patience and sarah
- the lady’s guide to celestial mechanics*
- the lost girls*
- the trouble girls
- these fleeting shadows*

the ones with stars are highly recommend :D

Written in the Stars, the Henna Wars, and Crier's War are good ones!

[Eva]

- Crier's War by Nina Varela
- Not My Problem by Ciara Smyth
- Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating by Adiba Jaigirdar
- Sweet & Bitter Magic by Adrienne Tooley
- One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston
- Love Is For Losers by Wibke Brueggemann
- Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner

All my romance reviews: all these books end with happy ever after or at least happy for now. No trafic ending: https://judeinthestars.com/category/b...

Tragic, not trafic 🙄 Autocorrect strikes again

All of my books have happy endings.
The Secrets We Keep might be a good one to start with. Rich girl/poor girl trope. Age-gap too. And set in New Zealand.

I just finished "Kiss Her Once for Me" and it was very cute and doesn't end in tragedy!

To add to these, if a bit late:
- She Gets the Girl by Rachael Lippincott and Allison Derrick
- The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon (the romance isn't the main plot though)
- Delilah Green Doesn't Care by Ashley Herring Blake
- The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School by Sonora Reyes
- I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston
- A Restless Truth by Freya Marske (the first book of this trilogy is mlm, but if you're willing to read mlm I definitely recommend this series because it is amazing)
- This is How You Lose The Time War by Amar el-Mohtar and Max Gladstone (granted, this is pushing it a little bit because it is tragic for most of the book. but the ending is worth it and the book is simply amazing)

Girl Serpent Thorn, Legends and Lattes, The Dead and the Dark, She Gets the Girl, The Fiancée Farce, and the Girls of Paper and Fire trilogy come to mind :)

Not sure I should ask, but can you tell me some that do end in flames? I don't think I've read any lesfic other than one by KJ that doesn't have a happy ending.

The lies we tell ourselves by robin Talley
Annie on my mind by Nancy garden
popcorn love by K.L Hughes
