I know this is going to be a really niche request, but I'd really like to read books about girl failures. She's the exact opposite of a girlboss; an adult woman who doesn't have her act together and her life is falling apart. I read No Hard Feelings by Genevieve Novak and really loved it and I'm currently reading Penelope in Retrograde by Brooke Abrams and I am laughing out loud and relating a little too much. I can't think of other examples, but my current read is reminding me how much I love stories about silly women trying their best but failing at life.
