oh youโve come to the right place mama!!
going off the fact that you watch gilmore girls iโm gonna assume several wonderful things ab you and rec accordingly:
short stories or memoir-like - great to dip in and out of but impactful enough to hold ur interest. love unaccustomed earth & the lowland by jhumpa lahiri, anything by david sedaris, anything by sheila heti (motherhood and how should a person be are faves), just kids by patti smith. the first books i ever truly loved were white oleander by janet finch and the glass castle by jeanette walls
family drama (less quick) - hate to rec a little life by hanya yanagihara but itโll keep you off your phone! also loved pachinko by min jin lee, hello beautiful by ann napolitano, and my brilliant friend series by elena ferrante
some great and gripping fiction: come and get it by kiley reid, now is not the time to panic by kevin wilson, tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow by gabrielle zevin, writers and lovers by lily king
TWO ye olde recs: little women and the picture of dorian gray :))))
