This week on my podcast (I think I’ve mentioned that I have a podcast? Anyway…), my best friend Mackenzie and I were talking about some of the most polarizing popular romance novels, and we got on the topic of what we call Sad Girl Books.
You’ve probably read a few of these or at least heard of them: In Five Years by Rebecca Serle, Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney, Luster by Raven Leilani, the list goes on and on. They’re the types of books that won’t necessarily make you feel warm ‘n’ fuzzy inside but will definitely give you plenty of fodder for your therapist.
