Jump Serve is a little over two weeks away!

I don't write a lot of YA but this one only felt right to tell it that way. If you loved Looking for Sunshine, Jump Serve-A Lipstick and Lightning Novella follows Devon’s older sister Chandler as she deals with the complexity of her first reciprocated girl crush and what this means about herself. (this work contains now spice because the main character is 18. I am not delusional in thinking this wouldn't be a normal act for these two characters however I won't be writing it)

#sapphicromance #novella #cleanromance

5/30 Edited to

... Read moreJump Serve offers a heartfelt portrayal of young love and self-identity through the eyes of Chandler, a relatable protagonist experiencing the thrill and uncertainty of her first real romantic feelings towards another girl. This novella stands out by blending themes of sapphic romance and adolescence in a way that is both genuine and refreshing. As a reader who values authentic character-driven stories, I found the approach of telling the narrative from a YA perspective especially impactful. It captures the subtle tensions and emotional discoveries that come with exploring one’s sexuality and understanding personal feelings, without resorting to mature scenes that might be less appropriate for younger audiences. This makes the story accessible to a wider range of readers who appreciate clean romance. The release date of June 15, 2026, marks an exciting addition to the LGBT+ YA literature space, particularly given the success of similar works like Looking for Sunshine. Readers interested in sapphic narratives or clean romance novellas will find Jump Serve compelling because it focuses deeply on emotional complexity and character growth rather than typical romantic tropes. From the available preview — "Back when the villain was just a confused girl" — it hints at layered themes of inner conflict and personal transformation, which enrich the storytelling. Whether you are new to YA sapphic romance or a longtime enthusiast, this novella promises to be an engaging and meaningful read that explores identity, first love, and acceptance in a sincere and respectful way.
