SummaryThe genre of fiction known as "chick-lit" has been a
lightning rod for debate in the world of literature, raising

harmless fluff? Is this really an accurate portrayal of the
lives of modern women? Eighteen renowned
authors—including Jennifer Coburn, Raelynn Hillhouse,
Harley Jane Kozak, Cara Lockwood, and Rachel Pine—weigh
in with the best of chick-lit—proving that this genre
deserves as much, or more, respect as any other. In addition
to their story, each author elaborates on her feelings about
the 'chick-lit' label, and recommends literary fiction
writers that have inspired them.
