very self explanatory: books with characters who are in their 20s (and trying to figure out their 20s). primarily but not exclusively lit fic.

Almost half of these are on my TBR.... Better get to reading, my 20s are almost over 😭
oof yeah, I need this right now
love this 🥺
I haven't heard of most of these books, but I love the list idea. Definitely would love recs on where to start 👀
YES of course!! my favorites are worry, green dot, margo’s got money troubles, soft core, and snake oil!
if you’re looking for less plot/more character study go for worry or soft core. for more plot, margo or snake oil. for something inbtwn, green dot.
also: if you have a sister, worry is FANTASTIC!!! if you don’t it may not resonate with you as much. the people i know who loved it all have sisters, the people i know who didn’t like it don’t have sisters LOL
Fantastic, I'll have to look into these. Thanks!
