Crush is the queer girl teen romcom everyone’s been waiting for. When teen artist Paige is forced to join the track team, she takes it as an opportunity to get closer to her crush, who happens to be the team’s co-captain. Things start to get complicated when Paige realizes she might actually be falling for her crush’s sister.
This movie is for anyone who’s ever looked at a love triangle and wished there were no boys. It’s perfect for fans of sporty lesbian YA books like Home Field Advantage by Dahlia Adler (2022) and She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen (2021). Crush is a lighthearted romcom that gives a lesbian character the happy ending she deserves, without the death, homophobia, or tragedy often found in other queer media.
