I don't like chick lits... but I also love them. Here are some reasons why a chick lit can save your life -
Sometimes a girl just needs to believe that no matter how horrible life tends to get... someday her prince charming will come riding up his horse and literally sweep her off her feet.
While they all are highly predictable (I mean come on, we all know that the boy and the girl will eventually get together), many chick lits are dead funny. The first three books in the Princess Diaries series are literally a riot. The last six books drag the loyal reader to hell.
Some chick lits are truly original. While one can argue that Helen Fielding's "Bridget Jones Diaries" is a rip off from "Pride and Prejudice", you have to appreciate the fact that for once the heroine of the book is someone who is truly flawed. She is not skinny, she is neurotic and she smokes way too much and yet the guy falls in love with her anyway.
There is no such thing as a bad book... just different tastes. But I am yet to meet someone (read:girl) who has not enjoyed a nice funny ebook version of a chick lit.
The books always end in such high notes that it is impossible not to feel extremely happy in life and content.
Chick lits are soooo optimistic. In the world of chick lits no mistake is too big, every blunder is a hidden opportunity to bring the guy and the girl closer. Even when things go wrong, the big picture is never messed up. Literally rainbows and daisies come out of the asses of chick lits.
And finally... which girl doesn't want a "happily ever after" whatever that is... and these books say that it is perfectly possible to get the guy and the job and live happily ever after in a big house and a HUGE diamond ring that acts as the icing on the cake...
These books are an easy escape into a fairy land where you can pretend to be Cinder-freaking-Ella... and on a lazy Sunday nothing sounds better :D
