80s 90s chicklit feminist firstpartonly magicalrealism satire

Awake is a satire with magical realism elements. Elizabeth Edwards, a befuddled and heartbroken young twenty-something, lives in Boston in the early 90's while slaving away at a marginal restaurant and trying to deal with her first major heartbreak. Addressing it in the most logical way-bedding random inapproriate men- she awakens after a night of typical restaurant worker recreational drug  debauchery...in 2015 in a Paris, Texas hospital room. 
Confused about the last night she was awake, how she ended up in a 24 year coma, how she is going to piece together the mystery of what happened to her best friend, her missing father, her estranged, yuppie brother- who is now a monk in Nepal?- and her "biggest mistake ever", Elizabeth has to piece together her past while confronting her present. In the process she needs to learn to become fully honest with herself and "awake" and see life for what it is, not what she wants it to be.All Rights Reserved

Better Than Dreams [Under editing] by panaceia-

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams -Dr. Seuss All of us dream of the perfect man. The man who would whisk us away and give us our happy ending. Ysabel Crest thought she did. She had the perfect boyfriend, perfect life, she had it all but it all came crashing down when she broke up with the man of her dreams. She found out more of herself than she ever did, she didn't want a long distance relationship. She couldn't bear with the heartache of being miles away with the man she loves. She didn't want playboys, they tend to be heartbreakers and promise breakers. She wants a man who wants kids and a family. she wants a man who doesn't take things seriously when it comes to fights. Will she ever find such a man? Or is reality better than her dreams? 7/25/16 note: I have no bloody idea what I have written here and I am in the middle of reareading the book. Will start editing soon. Please forgive any mistakes in grammar and spellings. I will work on some of the plot holes and other stuff. Thank you so much for the continuing support c: awesome cover by my bish hitaeth <33

FemTopia, Where Periwinkle Blooms by planet_ruby

Patrick Archer is a college man who loses everything, bottoms out, then through an incidental encounter, and coincidental re-encounters, finds a utopian life in a FemTopian world. Some of the names of the places have been changed, but it wouldn't take too much to tie the names to real places. This story is entirely fictional, and is not a bubble gum Domme/sub fantasy. It hits on real situations Women around the world still endure to this day, some of them gruesome and brutal. A lot of research went into this. Behind all that, this is a love story. This story has been kicking around in my head, in varying levels and iterations for a long, long time. Finally I put it to paper, figuratively speaking. Enjoy.

Then, there is Eve who thinks she is taking part in some innovative science experiment which will change the world and bring benefits to many. Is she? And just why is the director of the project so pleased with her? The three heroines must work out what is going on if they are ever to return to their real lives. Along the way, there will be tempting encounters with six-pack abs guys, full-on flirtations, Hollywood stars, riotous parties, blackmail and far too much champagne. Come along and enjoy the adventure. If you love escapist, fantasy chick lit, you have come to the right place.

Love Between the Lines ✔️ DRAFT 1 COMPLETE by KC_Han_writes

Answers are the only comfortable mysteries. Recently single and literature-loving Emilie Taylor is tired of living the same old life. She works two jobs just to pay the rent and now that her cheating fiance has moved out, she is lost. So when she receives a plane ticket to Scotland from an anonymous source with an address of where to go, she jumps at the chance for something new. A foreign country, a chance where she can start over. Upon her arrival in Scotland, she meets Fionn, a handsome heartbroken bookkeeper who runs the shop below the apartment where she is staying. While they clash at first, the secrets he hides may just be what Emilie needs to find herself again. But there is mystery lurking in the air about who sent her to Scotland and why.

When the Bus Stopped by shelleyinon

When Lucy Falkwell loses control of her house bus on a lonely alpine road in New Zealand, she finds herself in the midst of opera-singer Alessandro Magno's latest music video. She mistakenly believes she's stumbled upon a horrific crime scene. Lucy, a free-spirited eco-warrior, is ignorant of the world lying between the pages of those tabloid magazines. She doesn't recognize Alessandro, nor has she seen his smoldering publicity shots advertising the fact he's in town. Instead, she deduces that he's the main detective working the case. As the two fall into a strange friendship built upon a mistaken identity (all while attempting to rebuild other parts of their lives), the chemistry between them becomes obvious. But how do you learn to trust someone you never really knew in the first place? *** I like to class this kind of 'genre' as BohoLit. You will understand what I mean when you read it ;)

Endearing Stranger (Sample) by Ol-Seun

FAVORITE COMMENTS: ** "One of my all time favorite books, I'll never forget it" (@sedaoriente) ** "I love how easily the chemistry built up between them" (@RuthySinger) ** "It was like a modern day fairytale and there were so many moments when I just needed to stop reading and squeal!" (@fairyluver) ** "Your books are exactly how I expect a romance novel to be!" (@mahajuba) ** "It's unique, simple yet amazing. I actually had a big smile on my face while reading." (@Eman_Othman) ** "One of the most lovely stories that I have read so far on this platform. It's perfect." (@Luxami) ******************* Catherine Rogers found it hard to reject her best friend's brother, who was set on winning her over. He embodied everything she hated in a man, pushy, shallow, and selfish. But, Taylor and she had been friends for over 10 years, and Catherine's constant rejection of him was putting a strain on their long term friendship. Moreover, Catherine's heart was already fluttering for someone else: the endearing stranger she meets on the bus. He was kind, patient, and charming. She didn't even know his name, yet there was just something about him that made her swoon. When this mysterious stranger disappeared, she was left with an aching heart, and nothing more than sweet memories of a man who made her smile every time they met. She feared she would never see him again. Until one day, the most unexpected thing happened. --------- A biiiig thanks to all those who loved, voted and commented on Catherine's story. I'm taking the story down from Wattpad because I'm working on publishing it. It's hard work, but it would be a dream come true, please cheer me on. Thanks again for all the love and support! ^^ #42 in chicklit 13th Nov. 2017 Text Copyright © 2017 by Oluwaseun Agunbiade

WARNING: THIS BOOK IS A WRECK. PLEASE READ AT YOUR OWN RISK (I even cringe at the stuff I wrote). *Highest rank #2 in Chicklit* "You're a girl?!" He asked in disbelief. "No, I'm a panda," I said, sarcastically. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Jasper Banks is a girl who has been paralyzed for six years because of an accident. She goes to college and realizes she's sharing an apartment with 3 guys. The worst part, these guys are so freaking hot. There's Elliot Avlet, who is really mysterious and flirty.

When one Friday night turns into a sad pity party, Vanessa finds herself agreeing to something she would never before be caught dead doing but... desperate times call for desperate measures.

If you succeed in lasting that long, the prize of one million dollars is yours to spend. On the day of her wedding, no one is more disappointed than her at her new husband Jonah. He is nothing like the men she goes for but she wants the prize. It all seems rather easy but Vanessa will soon learn that the first year is always the hardest and it's only made worse with a stranger. With cameras and the country watching their relationship, can Vanessa find a level of normal anywhere? What happens when her ex boyfriend and the father of her child suddenly reappears swearing to get her back?

Glitter Glitches by NovaNicalynn

❤️ #Chicklit #Humor #Romance #NewAdult The moment was profound. The moment was mine. The moment was all that I dreamt it could be. Little did I know the moment would expire, how was I to know that moment would turn into my satire? As my glitters turned to glitches and the memory of his kisses turned sour, I was left brokenhearted and loose around the edges.
