There's a lot to be said about your 20s, but life afterwards is just as sweet! Here is a list of books where the FMC is age 30+ so you can enjoy a little more maturity and a totally different POV on life. This one is dedicated to my fellow millennials đ«¶ I'll update as I continue to read. Please share any suggestions you have for our friends in the comments.

I really recommend the Heart's cover hotties series by Lilian Monroe
Also the first two Bluebird Basin by Jess K. Hardy. So good.
Thank you! I added 1 & 2
3 is amazing as well, just younger main characters.
LMK which books or if the whole series focused on older women & i'll add them đ„°
The whole series!
Would The Wedding People fit this list of yours? Or is the focus just romance?
Thank you for the rec!
Found a new one for the list! "Never Been Shipped" is SO sincere and is what second chance/childhood best friends to lovers dream about.
Book Lovers by Emily Henry also fits. MCs in their mid-late thirties.
Freya Barkerâs Rock Point series has FMCs in their late 30s and well into their 40s. Keeping 6 Cabin 12 HWY 550 10-Code Iâve read the first three and enjoyed them. All involve a crime, and MMCs in the FBI.
