five star read, Black sapphics and comics and softness and bubbline energy 🩷🖤
outdrawn is a rivals to lovers romance with comic artists who have been competing since college, first in classes then on a webcomic site. noah gets hired at the major comic company sage works at, which sage doesn’t take well, and their rivalry softens as they work together.
this is one of those books against which i’m going to compare other romances, because i loved watching noah and sage work through their own insecurities together and grow as their relationship deepened. they encouraged each other to stand up to their families in different ways and talked through problems. highly recommend settling into this one if you need a little softness right now.

appreciated the note at the beginning about the use of the g slur, which i appreciated, but nothing about the blantant homophobia. fun concept, a little long in the execution imo. will probably continue with the series though the library.
