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 March 7th book club, we have chosen The Next Chapter by Camille Kellogg:
Katrina Kelly has millions of Instagram followers and a résumé packed with recognizable credits, but behind the scenes, her acting career has stalled, her confidence is shaken, and her questions about her sexuality are getting louder by the day. With the spotlight fading, Kat starts to wonder if a bold rebrand - this time as a queer icon - might be exactly what she needs to get back on track.
Jude Thacker, meanwhile, is doing fine. Definitely fine. She works at a queer bookstore she loves, even if it’s being slowly transformed into something unrecognizable. She avoids dating, avoids risk, and avoids anything that might crack open the heartbreak she’s carefully tucked away. Stability feels safer than hope, even if it’s a little lonely.
When Kat and Jude meet in the bookstore, what begins as a calculated publicity move quickly blurs into something real. As media attention ramps up and the line between performance and truth dissolves, both women are forced to ask themselves what they’re willing to risk - their careers, their routines, their sense of safety - for a chance at something honest.
Join us as we dive into this smart, funny, and emotionally resonant sapphic romance about ambition, identity, queer spaces, and the courage it takes to choose authenticity when the whole world is watching.
And don’t forget, you can always stop by the store to grab your copy of The Next Chapter at Pride & Petals.
