What is a Chick-Lit novel?
Chick-lit novels are a type of fiction that is typically written by female authors, and centered around female protagonists. Some people say that the genre is marketed toward young women, but I think that this depends on the person.
These novels include topics like family dramas, workplace struggles, issues of appearance and body image, and romantic entanglements with men.
There are cases where these novels are focused on comedy and drama, just like in chick-flick movies. Usually, the protagonists are described as strong, independent, assertive women. From the beginning of the story itself, the protagonist is usually working towards achieving something, and when the book comes to an end, this one is always happy. Even though these books are a success in commercial terms, the chick lit genere faces citicism for being trashy.
