"Six braided Sapphic love stories find women of color looking for romance across borders, years, and the internet, among other obstacles.

After her husband’s early death, Zoya stayed too busy to move on—until she meets Mako at a friend’s work party and there’s instant, undeniable chemistry between them. Although they share an incredible night together, they aren’t compatible long-term. After divorcing an “impotent workaholic,” Noura meets her soulmate, Luna, on a dating app, encouraged by the Greek chorus of her group chat. Ale and Paz casually dance in and out of one another’s lives for years to the beat of the New York club scene, until circumstances find them finally in the same place at the same time, settled enough to compromise. Birdie and Hava meet on a blind date and their slow burn ultimately combusts into a supernova when they discover a shared love of shibari and brat play. Maryam and Nilou’s copy shop meet-cute evolves into a love story that spans playlists, cuisine, and diasporic differences. Goli and Takaya are polar opposites, but when they get stuck in an out-of-order elevator, they’re drawn together like magnetic poles. This book is unlike any other romance. The trigger warning and land acknowledgement encourage reflection on the ways colonialism can be a barrier to vulnerable connection, and the birth chart provided for each character will resonate with astrologically minded readers. With 13 characters spanning seven entanglements of various intensities and spice levels, it’s nearly impossible not to fall in love with at least one pairing. Ideal for fans of The L Word: Generation Q and the latest iteration of Queer as Folk, this book delights in hopeful endings, even where they’re not the most traditional happily-ever-afters.

The poetic language and thoughtful representation offer a smart, sexy panorama of what love can look like." —Kirkus Review
