The Best Chick-Lit Authors for Books to Soothe Your Soul

Even though I love reading classics and deeply-profound books, I also love settling down on a rainy day with a good chick-lit. And let’s not sell these books short; they tell amazing stories that will make you laugh, cry, and think. They are profound in their own ways and talk about very serious matters, just in a more light-hearted fashion. One thing’s for sure, they’ll leave you with an everlasting impression, and let’s be honest, they bring on all the feels.
Here are 5 authors who’ve got the art of chick-lits down to a science.

Helen Fielding

Helen Fielding is the author of the very popular Bridget Jones’s Diary series. The books are so awesome because every girl reading it will end up feeling like she was reading her own diary. It deals with all the internal struggles of the everyday woman in such a hilarious way! Helen Fielding also has a couple other books and a short story as well.

Sophie Kinsella

You’ve probably heard of the Shopaholics series, or at least seen the movie. If you haven’t, you need to rectify that situation immediately! Kinsella has a way of tickling your funny bone and creating characters that are frustrating yet extremely likeable. Other than the 8 books in the Shopaholic series, Sophie Kinsella also has various other equally awesome books like Twenties Girl, Can You Keep a Secret Undomesticated Goddess, and so much more!

Marian Keyes

Marian Keyes is an Irish novelist, and is known for her amazing books. Her books deal with some of the most tragic issues of human life like domestic violence, alcoholism, mental illness, divorce, and more. And she does all of this in a more approachable-style of humor and charm. Her most popular books are Watermelon, The Charming Man, and Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married.

Cecelia Ahern

Cecelia Ahern is the writer behind the story of the popular romantic comedy P.S. I Love You, and an award-winning author. Her book Samantha Who? was also made into a comedy TV series, of which she was the creator and producer. She writes such amazingly-addictive stories that also deal with some pretty serious issues. She has so many books you can choose from, but we suggest you start with either Love, Rosie, The Gift, or P.S. I Love You!

Nicholas Sparks

Have those tissues, chocolate, and pillows ready to settle down in your jammies and bawl your eyes out! Nicholas Sparks has such a way with words and an amazing knack for telling love stories that tug at your heartstrings, that there’s no other way you’ll be coming out of one of his books without shedding a tear. But, a girl always needs a good cry now and then, right?
