THE SAPPHIC COUPLES IN YOUNG ADULT BOOKS OF 2020; A THREAD

Little spoilers alert for the books, nothing big but I’m still posting excerpts and if it has a happy ending!

Notes:
- this is about ships not characters
-this is to create an overview more than recommendation as I haven’t read everything

If I know:
- for confirmed happy ending
-optimistic but not endgame
- unhappy ending
- cliffhanger! There is hope/potential for the sequel!
