Recs if you like Open Wide...
Well, you have options
Book titles that represent reasons you might go to the doctor, what you might say to each other, or what treatments might be offered to cure your ailments. It's up to you to decide what is what😉
(This is not a commentary on these books or authors! The focus of this list is purely on the titles---but if you find a favorite new read here, I'd love to know🤭)
Is that cover a Georgia O’Keeffe*?
These book covers all have a certain anatomical resemblance in common, from subtle and subversive to in-your-face. These books span non-fiction and fiction, menstrual health, desire, taboo, dystopia, and more.

*Yes, I do know that the artist herself said that she really was just painting flowers and people were reading what they wanted to, but…
I love it when women
...are unhinged, lonely, tortured, kooky, crazy, unmoored, yearning, plotting, stalking, monologuing, self-pitying, lost, etc.

This is a genre-agnostic mega-list of weird girl* fiction expanding on an original list by @yarnandbooks, who is no longer curating lists on Pagebound.

Wide open for recommendations!
