Book Riot's 50 Must-Read Books for 20-Somethings

"In my 20s, I've lost true loves, found better ones, unexpectedly lost a parent, realized how much my childhood has affected me, been confused about what kind of career I wanted, figured out how I've wanted to use my talents and skills doing something I like, and learned to appreciate my body (not necessarily in that order, and sometimes repeating certain stages more than onceā€¦or twice). This must-read book list covers a wide variety of topics that have helped me understand and develop my personal and professional life.
The books are grouped in sections for various aspects of your 20s: Intersectional Feminism, Love, Career, Social Life, Big Decisions, Loss and Grieving, Travel, Perspective, and Curveballs." - Linh Anh Cat/Book Riot
