This is for all the book lovers and BFFs! So, grab your squad of girls, prepare some yummy snacks, and get ready to go on an exciting literary journey for your next girls-only readers’ meeting. Selecting the right book is not always easy, especially when you are looking for a book that can be read, discussed, and enjoyed by various group members. The goal is to set the mood with comedy, honesty, and inspiring stories of sisterhood, one book club meeting at a time.
Big Sister in a Book: "Everything I Know About Love" by Dolly Alderton
A memoir that is both touching and hilarious, Dolly Alderton’s coming-of-age story is sure to be a hit with your book club. It delves into the vast spectrum of love and dating within the young adult demographic, from experiencing dreadful first dates to the process of healing a broken heart. Alderton also explores female friendships, providing an opportunity to discuss the achievements and difficulties that women face in the modern world.
We’re the New Romantics: "Of Love and Other Lemons" by Katrina Stuart Santiago
First published in 2012, this novel discusses the theme of women and love. Santiago grapples with the meaning behind being a Pinay feminist and extends the sociopolitical discourse of feminism to consider the totality of the Filipino woman. This profound and thought-provoking novel makes an invaluable contribution to exploring multicultural concepts of love and destiny, presenting readers with stimulating opportunities for dreamful reveries regarding the novel’s characters.
Let’s Talk About Love, Baby: "Conversations on Love" by Natasha Lunn
Have you ever felt like you had no idea what love was at all? Lunn’s book is a well-researched collection of interviews with professionals, writers, and members of the general population. It discusses how people try or succeed in the sphere of love and partnerships, making it inclusive and free from bias. This book of short and simple stories serves as a discussion piece to which everyone in the group can bring their own perspective on love, based on other interviews or their own experiences.
All these books provide something that any woman of a certain age can identify with and reflect upon in their own life. Expect comedy, emotions, and narratives that capture the essence of what it means to be a woman. These books will elicit plenty of conversation, giggles, and that feeling of knowing someone gets you, girl squad.
