Recs if you like Sea Change...
we were girls together
books about the beauty and heartbreak of lifelong, ever-evolving female friendships. oh, to have been children together! to have grown up together, or to have grown apart!
magical realism: the classics & niche
my favorite genre! the grit of the everyday alongside the possibility for something more, a veil thinning, serendipity bending reality to its whimsy and beauty. this is a smaller list due the brittle nature of the genre. it's up to interpretation, but i like my magical realism on the more realistic side with very slight tints of magic/fantastical elements. recommendations are welcome!
