My sister is always reading these fluffy, easy, no-brainpower-required romance novels and I am jealous. I’ve never read one but she seems to be having a great time!
Only thing is, I really hate reading about romance/sex as a main plot point (I am aromantic/asexual so it isn’t something I can relate to or something I enjoy fantasizing about). I have absolutely no idea what I’m asking for here… except that I want something that is easy, accessible, fairly brainless, provides some fluffy escapism, is either aimed at women or is at least normal about writing women characters, and makes me want to keep reading… but without the romance.
I usually gravitate towards “genre fiction” on the more literary side, so I’m looking for something that isn’t an allegory or a philosophical statement. Just engaging fluff.
Some non romance escapism ideas, lol:
– suddenly coming into money/all your financial worries disappearing
– chosen one type stories where the main character was secretly destined to be cool all along OR was selected out of a crowd for something cool
– stuff with indulgent descriptions of delicious food, nice clothes, beautiful houses, etc.
Anyone have any ideas?
