The 'Girl' in the Title: Diverse Reads About Women

When crime novelist Megan Abbott talked with NPR about the ongoing popularity of books with "girl" or "girls" in the title, she said, "There's really something at the root of the popularity of Flynn's and Hawkins' books that is far more important than branding or marketing and I think it's the universal themes that you see in these books that speak to female readers."
Below is a list from Bustle and Goodreads showcasing the diversity and quality in these books. They're all unique, but all speak to the female experience.
