Girl meet Boy series

This fun, frothy romcom series is written entirely in epistolotory form. meaning that it’s written in emails, texts, and such. No prose, which makes it a very fast read as the characters swap gossip, get into miscommunications and get sexy. The romances all share small-town girls falling for outsider city boys, but really the charm is in the comedy. I always read it when I want a laugh.

Heather Well Mysteries series

This is another comedy series, but also speaks to some important themes about body perception, abuse, and motherhood. Heather Wells is a former Britney-type popstar until she got dumped by her label, and her boyfriend for her mild weight gain and her mom stole all her money to run to Argentina. Relegated to a forgotten mall pop princess, she easily blends into her new life as a dorm moniter at Fisher College. The most deadly college in NY it seems as every year brings a new insideous death. Lucky for them, Heather is a forensic buff and so embarks to solve these mysteries for herself with the help of her exes’ hot brother/her roommate. Spicy, isn’t it. Well you have to read the rest for yourself, but I highly enjoyed the evolution of Heather throughout the novels and the way she finds her own sort of love, romantically and for herself.

Allie Finkle’s Rules for Girls

I was obsessed with this when I was little. I can’t quite name why, but just that it felt relatable and comforting. Allie is a sweet girl, someone I think I could be friends with and her rules are helpful to life whether it be moving, mean girls, jealousy or letting go of toxic friendship. Her friend group was goals and it just felt like something I could easily hop into and experience for myself in real life.

The Princess Diaries

I know I know, I put this iconic series last but I didn’t get into as much as the above three. But it is still very fun, I love all the lists and pop culture references so it really makes Mia relatable and feel like a teenage girl. I also like how it is dynamic and everyone truly changes and evolves like Mia’s shifted friendship with Lily after the Boris incident and how Lena changed from mean girl to close friend etc.
