Recent Comparables for Books Like Sweetbitter?

[LadyLit]

Hi everyone!

I'm struggling to find good recent comparables for the novel I'm writing (upmarket women's fiction about an innocent young Midwestern girl trying to come of age and find her way to sexual awakening at the peak of the late 60s "sexual revolution" in rollicking San Francisco). Sweetbitter fits fairly well, but it's too old. I've found a few others that are "iffy." Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hello, I suggest "The Girls" by Emma Cline. Although this novel is set in the late 1960s in Northern California, it focuses on a young girl's coming-of-age within a cult-like group inspired by the Manson Family. While it may have darker themes than what you're aiming for, it still offers a glimpse into the complexities of female experiences during that era.

Besides, you can try reading "The Swans of Fifth Avenue" by Melanie Benjamin. This historical fiction novel delves into the lives of the glamorous and influential women of the 1960s New York social scene. It explores themes of sexuality, power dynamics, and the challenges faced by women during that time.
