Time to talk about the bisexual and pansexual rep, my guys! As in, time to talk about over 120 books coming out this half of 2023 that feature either/or bi and pan protags. Or love interests. As always with these posts, I tried to only include books which make it crystal clear that the characters id as such. Please do let me know, if you spot any mistakes!
Enjoy, buy and preorder! And hey, a lot of those titles are (or will be) available on Scribd, so if you want to check out that service but don’t have an account yet, use my invite code to get 2 months for free! (This also gives me one free month.)

hey! just wanted to drop a super quick note that “the immeasurable depth of you” by maria ingrande mora doesn’t feature a f/f relationship; the main character is indeed bisexual, but her crush on another girl is not reciprocated. i got the eARC and was surprised by this, since it did seem to be marketed as a romance. anyways, thanks so much for the recs! 🙂
