I love it when women
...are unhinged, lonely, tortured, kooky, crazy, unmoored, yearning, plotting, stalking, monologuing, self-pitying, lost, etc.
warm weather blues

claustrophobic like the summer heat like stifling longing flushed cheeks like unbidden realisations melancholically sweet like painful emptiness existential like utter confusion

Aka Dua Lipaโs reading list. Everyoneโs fave popstar on permanent holiday with a massive list of books to read, and she always seems to have incredible recommendations.

twentysomething
books with characters who are in their 20s (and trying to figure out their 20s). primarily but not exclusively lit fic.
dreamy whimsical listless
in which nothing happens or a lot happens, but sometimes it feels like nothing at all.
also known as: lit fic that feels like a dream or a nightmare or a hallucination.

All sorts of stories about all sorts of women and girls.
This is a genre-agnostic mega-list of weird girl* fiction expanding on an original list by @yarnandbooks (no longer being updated). You can view the original list here: (link) /// As a nonbinary person, I take as broad a view as possible of the "girl" in "weird girl*", hence the asterisk.
Wide open for recommendations!
