These books are perfect for when you are feeling low or lost in your 20s, when you wonder about womanhood, love, friendships, and life. Last year, I read all of Nora Ephron's essays and they made me feel understood, my fears of falling behind, of not being successful, and of being alone forever were suddenly shared by a brilliant and funny woman like she was. So, I thought these recs were very much needed so you can also have that feeling

I'd love some good recs to add to the list, so if you have some in mind, send them my way! đ
love this list, queen! If you're looking for more recs with this vibe/ memoirs, I recommend checking out Patti Smith's Just Kids, and Joan Didion's works.
Thank you, I'm so happy you like this list! These books kept me company on a very tough year, so I hope they can do the same to you. I'll definitely check your recs out! đ„čđ
