About this Event

Calling all sapphic romance lovers! Whether you’re a longtime fan of sapphic stories or just discovering the magic of women-loving-women romance, Pride & Petals is thrilled to host a free, in-person book club celebrating sapphic love in all its forms.

Our mission is simple: to bring together readers who share a passion for heartfelt stories, swoon-worthy characters, and authentic representation. Join us for an evening of lively discussion, tasty snacks, and genuine community connection. Whether you’ve read every sapphic romance under the sun or are just starting your journey, this is a safe, welcoming space to make new friends, share your thoughts, and celebrate love in all its beautiful diversity.

Come for the books, stay for the laughter, and leave with a heart full of joy (and maybe a few new friends!). We can’t wait to meet you and chat about our latest sapphic read!

We have limited space for this book club, so make sure you save yourself a spot.


For the December 12th book club, we have chosen Kiss Her Once for Me by Alison Cochrun:

Get ready for the gayest, coziest, snowiest book club of the year! This December we’re diving into Kiss Her Once for Me; a heartfelt, holiday-themed sapphic rom-com packed with fake engagements, found family, snowy Portland charm, and the unforgettable spark of a one-night Christmas Eve connection.

When Ellie agrees to fake an engagement with her boss to solve a sticky holiday problem, everything seems manageable… until she meets his sister - the very woman she shared last year’s magical, unexpected, can’t-stop-thinking-about-it Christmas Eve with. What follows is a whirlwind of festive chaos, queer chemistry, messy emotions, and second chances wrapped in twinkle lights.

Join us for a warm, welcoming night inside the shop as we celebrate queer love, holiday magic, and all the heart-happy moments that make this book the perfect December read.

And don’t forget, you can always stop by the store to grab your copy of Kiss Her Once for Me.
