Strange and Usual Weird Girl Lit Book Club

There’s something deliciously unsettling about a room full of women passing around stories that don’t behave.

This book club is for readers drawn to the strange pulse beneath the surface—the ones who see themselves, a little too clearly, in characters who unravel, mutate, obsess, and refuse to be made palatable. We gather around “weird girl lit”: sharp, surreal, often darkly funny novels that blur the line between identity and performance, desire and distortion. Think Bunny by Mona Awad, where sweetness curdles into something feral; Annie Bot by Sierra Greer, which probes artificial intimacy and autonomy; Boy Parts by Eliza Clark, a descent into vanity, power, and grotesque self-construction; and Sky Daddy by Kate Folk, where longing takes uncanny, disquieting forms.

We read women who are too much, not enough, and entirely uninterested in fixing either condition. Our conversations wander—through body horror and beauty rituals, loneliness and spectacle, control and surrender. Nothing is off-limits: not the uncomfortable laughter, not the moments of recognition you’d rather not admit to.

This isn’t a space for tidy interpretations. It’s for curiosity, contradiction, and the quiet thrill of saying, “that was disturbing… and I loved it.”
