1q84 if she’s not scared of thicc books. It’s a cute romance with weird stuff.

Slaughter house 5 if she doesn’t read anything other than romance.

do girls even read
is it something they are capable of
in my experience the only females who read are those who have passed the age of 60 and got nothing better to do than to read shitty romantic novels

Cyrano de Bergerac. It's a classic play that went on to inspire a Steve Martin rom-com. Starts funny, ends with some feels. It's woke in the sense that it shows a lot of concern for the poor, and that it's easy to read as anti-war.

I thought it was just about recommending a book that a wahman would enjoy. Not about actual good literature. Although to be fair I really enjoyed Norweigan Wood.
