I felt like the only connection with the "chick lit" would be the "chick" part. I usually feel like chick lit is lighter than this book. The novel had a lot of metaphors and a lot of life lessons that made it deeper and more meaningful. However, I don't know if men would find it appealing, despite the fishing parts. So I would say it is a book that can be better appreciated by a woman, but certainly I would not consider it chick lit.Kieran_Obrien wrote: ↑22 Feb 2018, 09:23 Perhaps the term is a bit offensive, but do you consider the Reel Sisters to be Chick Lit?
I think there's maybe a bit more going on in the narrative that opens up it's genre slightly, but it does hit all the chick lit tropes!
I'm a guy and I found it reasonably enjoyable anyway!
