Girl-next-door character (Sapphic Reading Challenge #39)

This week’s Sapphic Reading Challenge features sapphic books with a girl-next-door character.

“Girl next door” doesn’t mean that the main characters need to actually be neighbors and live door-to-door. It means that one of the main characters is the “girl next door” type—sweet, kind, and unpretentious. She’s generally well-liked by everyone, and she’s often described as pretty or cute, but usually, she’s not movie-star stunning.
