Every Girl Should Read In Her 20s Novels & Stories

But, I knew I could handle. As the plane flew over the ocean, I felt apprehensive. Was this really happening? Growing up, I always thought marriage was a big deal. It had not yet hit me properly during the honeymoon but now it did. It was time to become more mature, act like a real woman not a growing girl although at twenty three I felt I was still one. It was high time, I beat the girlishness out of me though not all of it. Every woman needs a bit of girl in her. In the same way, every girl needs a bit of woman in her.

“I think it sounds awkward to fumble around with a guy who knows as much about sex as I do. Which is only what I can read in a book or see in a movie. And that’s not real.” “I hate that we’re so sheltered,” Marisa said. “Attending an all-girls Catholic school, I don’t even have any guy friends my own age to compare.” She sat taller. “And I’ve heard the stories at school, too. I think they’re lying and talking for attention. I mean, there’s no way that they’re getting all that action and we’re sitting here in an all-girls library while the living room is full of eligible men.” When we didn’t respond, she added, “That’s why I’m taking off after I’m eighteen. I want to see the world. Learn abou

I know where this is going. Sometimes the insecurities inside me take over. I knew that I shouldn't have anything to do with any man that came close. Twenty-eight-year-old women should have tasted whatever freedom any woman can afford. Some of them may be dating, or at least have experienced what it's like to live with the person they love, or.. the other: free to go anywhere without having to be watched constantly. Have achieved some things in their life. Mistakes, and all the other life lessons.

“Professor said my bridge design could handle twice the load limit. Might even enter it in the regional showcase.” Dad beamed. “That’s my girl. Engineering brains and beauty. You’ll have alphas lining up.” Mom smiled that tight smile she saved for when she was disappointed in me. She turned to me last, like an afterthought. “And you, Solange? Still nose-deep in those books?” I poked at my potatoes. “Yeah. Still reading.” She sighed. Loud. “Books won’t keep you warm at night. You’re twenty-two. Most girls your age are mated. Or at least courting if not doing engineering or politics related stuff.”

“She said she got it when she turned eighteen. I only got mine recently, when I turned eighteen. If we’re twins, how are we not the same age?” 😍 Hello lovely reader, this is me grabbing another opportunity to say thank you so much for reading my imperfect book 🥺, you encourage me to keep writing. Please if you encounter anything that disrupt your reading experience, do not hesitate to point it out 🙏 Thank you once again 😍😍😍

she says, excited. “What do you have me reading,” I say, stunned. I mean after the times I’ve had with both Parker and Rafe nothing should shock me. But she’s 14! They actually put this stuff in books?? At 14 I was nowhere close to having extremely intimate thoughts about males! “I told you! It's called, “Love Under The Moon.” I’ve read it like four times, soo soo good,” she swoons. I gape at her, not sure what to think.

There are mischievous things that you can't do at the age of 21 which are meant to be done at the age of 16 or 18. It's just like that, its life but some people don't want to understand this point. 23 years is a great age to be especially when you are girl, it's the most precious time to either go mature or proceed with the teen mentality. Some people, see the age 23 as the best stage make life related decisions like wanting stable relationships, and making decisions of what to do to be become what you want in life, finding a purpose that can earn you trillions dollars to have the perfect dream life you've always wanted to own...that's how I feel!

I was tempted to try to get it, but I wasn’t sure that I was strong enough, and I didn’t want to put Athena into trouble by falling while she was away. Looking at her book longingly, I realized that at nineteen, and almost twenty in two months, I never had a hobby. While my peers developed likeness for hobbies like swimming, dancing, seeing movies, writing, or even sightseeing, I never had the time for any of it because I was busy with work at a tender age. “What would it be like to actually have a reading hobby?” I whispered to myself as I stared at Athena’s book with longing desire, like a child seeing chocolate in a glass store from across the street.

she said, looking out the passenger window. "What do you mean? I thought you were saying you were looking forward to coming home," Kitty was sort of confused by this sudden shift in attitude by her niece. "I am twenty now, I feel like I should have a car," she explained. "I didn't have a car until I was almost thirty!" Kitty said, she felt bad for the girl, but didn't think that a sixteen year old truly needed a car. "I know, but things are different now," she explained, "All of my friends at school have cars and everything. I just don't think it is fair."

“I’ll admit, this is nice. Unexpected, but nice.” We order pancakes, eggs, and coffee, and the conversation flows easily.
