And CityGirl’s Recommends:

Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella (This is the best Sophie Kinsella book yet - I think it reads like a movie)
The Carrie Diaries by Candace Bushnell (Very fun and fluffy - great for the cottage)
Stuck in Downward Dog by Chantel Simmons (One of the few chick-lit books set in Toronto, so I could really picture the story unfolding in the city)
In Her Shoes – Lisa Dow (Also set in Toronto, very funny). With Her Boots On is the sequel.

CityGirl also suggested two books related to writing chick lit for anyone with a secret desire to write chick lit:

  3. Hi everyone, I am Adorjan Adelmo from Yasinya village, Ukraine and I just want to say a very resounding thanks to Pedro Financial loan services for their sincerity, Openness, Transparency, Truthfulness, Love and support during and after getting loan funds from them. I have been through a lot in the hands of in life and time won’t permit me to say all that I went through in the year of pandemic, but God answered my prayers through the support and love from Pedro Financial loan services who embraced me and understood me despite my initial doubt and unserious ness and with his good heart and love I am now a homeowner through his 3% interest rate loan funds and I have vow to spread this news and also tell the world that there are still genuine and few good online loan firms out there that can assist and also revive a dry bone like I was.



    Don’t fail to listen and read this testimony because this is a true life-changing experience and anyone that needs this kind of turn around should not hesitate or doubt this because I have proven, and I swear to God in Heaven, that this story is real and also the story of my experience with them.
