One of the most popular tropes I see talked about again and again in lesbian fiction is the age gap. The topic usually comes up when people are talking about their favourite tropes of all time. So I thought it was about time I compiled a list of some truly binge-worthy books all available on Kindle Unlimited or to buy and keep forever.
There is plenty of heartwarming humour, plenty of office romances, family hiccups, a lot of artists and muses, and plenty of happy-ever-afters!
