New book group for 20ish yo women…. need suggestions
My DIL is planning to start a book club for her friends but she hasn't read much. She asked me for ideas. I don't know what to suggest. Shouldn't be to long, and an interesting plot to keep them reading.

the seven husbands of evelyn hugo/daisy jones and the 6 by taylor jenkins reid (highly entertaining easy to read books)
everything i know about love by dolly alderton (mixutre of memoir and essays about love/relationships/life in general, fun to read and quite insightful)
bellies by nicola dinan (if there’s interest in queer stories, this is perfect)
breasts and eggs by mieko kawakami (feminist literature, very interesting with a lot of themes that could be discussed in a bookclub)
