Itâs no secret that BookTok has a strong influence on consumers, but as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. One of the most popular genres is the sad girl novel, which coincides with the Fleabag era that was popularized on the platform last year. Both embrace a sort of nihilistic feminism that celebrates chaotic, imperfect, and often mentally ill female characters.
This has its positivesânamely, these stories and characters provide an escape for young people experiencing the bleakness of our current world. However, some of the language used in TikToks about âsad girlâ novels, as well as the romanticization of mental illness, can be problematic. Passionfruit contributor Kaiya Shunyata helped us break down the complex interest in this BookTok genre below.
