Girls Only: Anyone here into modern chicklit?

[CDG89]

Pretty much all the books I read now are modern women authors, but not books about romance. I think they are classified as modern chicklit. Authors in this genre include, Ottessa Moshfegh, Jia Tolentino, Samantha Irby, Alissa Nutting, Cat Marnell etc. Here are some suggestions:

My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh
We are Never Meeting Again by Samantha Irby
The New Me by Halle Butler
Trick Mirror by Jia Tolentino
How to Murder your Life by Cat Marnell.

Let this be our default chicklit thread where we discuss book recs!

Why you gatekeeping books for?
can us guys not enjoy and discuss books from the chicklit genre

Question tho does the author and the main character have to be female for it to be modern chicklit or just the author?

So the author being female isn't the only requirement because that's not a romance book?

What would make a book aimed at women as opposed to men outside of talking about women issues?
