Guilia, I'm totally going to check out Andrews, thanks for the heads-up! :)

Plum Sykes - The Debutante Divorcee
Lorraine Despres - The Bad Behavior of Belle Cantrell and the Scandalous Summer of Sissy LeBlanc
Jane Green - all are good, especially Jemima J
Laura Levine (Jaine Austen series)
Sophie Kinsella (Shopaholic series)
Helen Fielding (Bridget Jones series)
Laura Wolf
Carole Matthews
Rebecca Wells (Divine Secrets series)








i adore karen quinn (the ivy chronicles and wife in the fast lane), i second the clare naylor rec, i love plum sykes and think bergdorf blondes is the ultimate in new york chick lit, jennifer weiner is amazing, diana preterfund (the ivy league secret society series) is young and new, and as for titles, i also liked "the little lady agency", "better than i know myself", "dirty girls social club", and "24 karat kids". i know there are more . . . curtis sittenfeld's new book was surprisingly good. oh, and sara gruen's books are fantastic.


I also enthusiastically add my voice to Christy's (see message 14) about the Stephanie Plum series (One for the Money, etc.) by Janet Evanovich. It's hilarious chick lit coupled with a compelling dash of adventure.



I'll throw in another vote for the fantastic and always entertaining Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich, and Sophie Kinsella (although I think the Shopoholic series is getting old. My favorite book of hers is Can You Keep A Secret).
Maeve Binchy is also a favorite of mine, although I dont think she is considered "chick lit".


I ADORE Georgia!!! I can whip through one of those books in about an hour, though, so I always feel cheated, like they should have made each book longer -- combined titles -- something to get more bang for your buck ;) But yes, definitely a fun read, teen chick lit or whatever!




I'm also a sucker for Jennifer Crusie, her romance novels suck me in!!!



It's a great series & I can't wait to get the 4th book.


I'm also a huge Jennifer Crusie fan (Faking It), as well as Sophie Kinsella (Undomestic Goddess)! I've also noticed I've been reading a lot of the "teen/chick lit"! Maybe because I'm almost 30 and in denial? Anyhoozie, I love Libba Bray's "A Great & Terrible Beauty" series, as well as Ann Brashares' Sisterhood series...has anyone read Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series? Those are next on my list!
Valerie Frankel, and my favorite chick lit author Melissa Nathan.









I know, I know.
But if you like this genre, and it's what I write...well
