Welcome back to episode 9 of Flip the Page. Today, we're going to be digging through a Black sapphic romance book and the best friends to lovers trope.
Rosewater by Liv Little is a Black sapphic romance that tells the story of Elsie, a 28-year-old aspiring poet, living in London, who has struggled finding a stable home ever since she was sixteen and left her house. At the beginning of the story, she is evicted from her apartment and reaches out to her best friend, Juliet, who she has not spoken to in 3 months, to ask to stay with her while she finds a way to get back on her feet. As the story progresses after she moves into Juliet’s apartment, you see Elsie struggling with finding and defining “home”, regulating and expressing her emotions, her relationship with Juliet, and coming to terms with her feelings for Juliet.
