my little sister is graduating hs and attending uni in the fall, and i would like to gift her an annotated book.
i listened to the audiobook of “everything i know about love” by dolly alderton and really enjoyed it so i bought the paperback with the intention of gifting it to her. i was also thinking of “defining decade” by dr. meg jay but it seems more intended for 20-something-year-olds and i’m afraid it’ll be too preachy/scoldy like most self-help books go, and i don’t think that is something she’d pick up.
would any of you recommend these, or have any better suggestions? i’m open to all genres but would just like it to be something she can relate to or even learn something from.
tyia!!

Maybe a classic? Some of my favorite editions of classics are the books illustrated by Marjolein Bastin published by Andrews McMeel, and the books with letters by Barbara Heller published by Chronicle Books.
My parents gave me Dr. Seuss’s “Oh The Places You’ll Go”, when I graduated high school in 1992. I loved it. I used to read it to my boys when they were little and it still has a place on my bookshelf.
Untamed by Glennon Doyle. I wish I would have had that book thru my college years.
