Read Maame… for an uplifting yet moving novel on the joy and guilt of stepping away from your liabilities and chancing your own way in life.

It’s a gladdening( and occasionally heartbreaking) look at tone- consummation, womanish fellowship, and belonging – and one of the stylish books for women in 2023.
We All Want insolvable effects by Catherine Newman
Read We All Want insolvable effects for an emotional yet uplifting and beautifully wise book about the life- changing power of fellowship.
Although Catherine Newman’s 2022 bestseller is about heartache, it’s eventually about the joy of fellowship – particularly the forty-two-time bond between Edi and Ash. Their fellowship has survived marriages, heartache, gravidity, and children. But now the unbelievable has happed, and Edi is dying of ovarian cancer.

Carrie Soto by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Read Carrie Soto is Back for Taylor Jenkins Reid’s rearmost bestseller about a tennis legend brought back to the court for one last attempt at defending her record.
still, you should absolutely read Taylor Jenkins Reid’s rearmost book( it’s also one of the stylish sand reads for 2023), If you loved The Seven misters of Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones & the Six.
Carrie Soto is Back is her story of a tennis star apparently past her high at thirty- seven, brought back to the tennis court to give everything she’s got to defend her heritage.
The Marriage portrayal by Maggie O’Farrell
Read The Marriage portrayal for one of the stylish literal fabrication books to escape into right now, written from the perspective of a strong woman in a confined world.
Right from the launch of this 2022 bestseller, we know that lower than a time after fifteen- time-old Lucrezia de ’ Medici marries Alfonso II d’Este, Duke of Ferrara, she’ll be dead.
The sanctioned cause of death was ‘ rotten fever ’, but it was rumoured that she had been boggled by her hubby. What follows is a spellbinding book that’s gorgeously drafted, invested with life, and delicate to put down.
A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
Read A Psalm for the Wild-Built if… you want to escape to a utopian future where tea is the solution for everything and you can just drop everything and wander into the wilderness when life gets too much.
I feel like I recommend Becky Chambers’ writing in every post at the moment (and to everyone I meet offline)… so if you’re getting tired of reading this, I apologize. But also, she’s fantastic.
This is the story of Sibling Dex, a non-binary tea monk who makes people’s lives better by travelling around in their bike-powered wagon and creating the perfect cup of tea for every situation.
But something’s missing in Dex’s life, and they don’t start to figure things out until they bump into Mosscap, a robot who’s only now emerging from the wilderness after centuries away from humans.
For more about Becky Chambers and her delightful gifts to the world (and favorite tea), I loved this feature by Wired.
Nora walks away from the script written by Annabelle Monaghan.
Read the script by Nora Goes Off-Script, a love story of warmth, wit, new limits, and unafraid of life’s emotional baggage.
Nora is a novelist well versed in the formula of love. But when her husband leaves her and her two children, Nora cashes in her ruined marriage to write a polished script for her life.
Endpapers by Jennifer Savran Kelly
Read Endpapers for an suggestive debut about gender, authenticity, and the hard exchanges we owe ourselves in pursuit of a world where no bone has to hide.
Jennifer Sabran Kelly’s quiet, immersive debut took me by surprise. The story of a strange book guardian who finds an old mysterious love letter at the end of the book. Don Levitt works at the Metropolitan Museum of Art repairing old books rather than creating his own.
Not only is Endpapers a sprucely- written book that celebrates art, creativity, and tone- expression, but it also explores the difficulty of honesty and the consequences of all that’s left unsaid.
Amazing Grace Adams by Fran Littlewood
Read Amazing Grace Adams‘ responses to 2023 by Bernadette, Eleanor Oliphant, Rosie, and Uwe.
Amazing Grace Adams is a funny, touching story of an unnoticeable everyman pushed to the point. Meet Grace Adams, forty- five, perimenopausal, stalled, and eventually losing it.
The Illustrated Woman by Helen Mort
Read The Illustrated Woman for a remarkably raw and honest poetry collection that celebrates the beauty and adaptability of women’s bodies.
Helen Mort’s book is one of the top recommended books for women in 2023. I fell in love with A Line Above the Sky, her biography about fathers and mountains, but wanted to focus on her 2022 book of poetry.
Amidst the Peak District’s terrain and Greenland’s glaciers – and punctuated by unique wild adventures – The Illustrated Woman is a stunning display of what it means to live in a female body.
