My wife is 34, and has never been a big reader. Over the past year she's been reading a lot of manga (one piece, dramas, and romance), but she's expressed wanting to try a novel. She has autism and ADHD, so it can be very hard to keep her focus. Here's what we've learned so far about her preferences;
She likes romance, and drama, she loves something deeply emotional.
Preferably lesbian or at least queer coded, not totally necessary though, we're just both in the LGBTQ community.
Light reading, no giant novels, something she can finish in two or three afternoons.
She does like anime like one piece and solo leveling, so I don't think she'd be fully against a fantasy/adventure either.
Opposite of me, NO horror. No body horror, gore, etc. She can handle death for the sake of drama but nothing that's scary or triggering.
Sex is okay, but she likes an emotional focus.
Feel free to suggest some mangas too!
