weird complex books
This isn’t just “weird girl lit,” it’s weird girl books with a MESSAGE. with something to say and doing it in a weird way!! No shame to the angry woman weird girl books but that ain’t what I’m talking about. I’m talking space, magical realism, weird kinks as metaphors. I’m talking new takes on the form, books that do things differently. If you know, you know. These are some of my favorite types of books and nearly everything on this list I’ve read and loved.
