GOOD FOR HER books 💋🔪 gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss

[@Frouwke]

Is it just me? I get other books in the time stamps, like Verity and Misery, but those are definitely not talked about it in this video 😂

[@Thehennies]

Oh yes! They’re from her unhinged books stamps 😅

[@Bookishandcaffeinated]

I just realized S. T. Abby pen name 😂 fitting for the book.

2:05 or so, the good for you moment right there. “If you don’t agree, you can unsubscribe” I mean.. that was a moment right there. Lol

[@eridofthegalaxies]

🐐 I FINALLY FINISHED READING GONE GIRL THIS WEEK (I'd watched the movie a few years back, before I'd gotten back into reading) AND I'M SO GLAD IT'S AS AMAZING AS I'D EXPECTED!

[@LemoniestLemony]

Its such a shame that once you know the twist rereading seems pointless because it was one of my favourite books the year i read it

[@faithfuljohn]

but can you feel catharsis when all he did was cheat on her and she in turn - kills another dude in love with her and attempts to frame her husband for murder. This is cathartic???

[@llumpiah]

OMG KATIE! I WATCHED BARBIE LAST MONTH AND IM STILL THINKING AB IT EVERY DAMN DAYY, REALLY THO THAT MOVIE MADE MY LIFE BETTER

[@bookishbowen]

I love that all of the good for her is out here deleting men from existence. The true definition of justice 😆 🐐

Not me reading the thumbnail as "doog for her" 😂😂

[@gabbyreads]

Yesssss I need more good for her books in my life 💗 also I’m so glad you loved Barbie as much as I did haha I watched it twice now and the second time I saw it I full on sobbed in the theater hahaha 😅 that movie has such impact!!!! 😭💖

[@lilyolson3188]

Yes, Bunny is my favorite book of all time, too! I was excited when I saw it on your shelf. I can't stop thinking about it. The audiobook version is amazing.

[@Alberta57-eq2jd]

Oh my god I'm obsessed with Dowry of Blood and I'm only 7% through the KU version. The way it's written and just the beginnings of the story are so compelling right from the beginning. I've already started looking for a physical copy of the book to annotate, I really like the Bookish Box edition so that's the one I'm hunting for. 🐐

[@allisonwilliamson543]

I would recommend The Girl with the Dragon tattoo series. The things that girl does in that series is chef's kiss!! It is a slow read but its worth it.

[@mrsvictoriacoburn8486]

I loved a Dowry of Blood and They never learn. Definitely going to read many more of these!

[@soreign13]

I would like to recommend Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao because GOOD FOR HER !!!!! This story follows all 5 rules that were mentioned in the beginning and my god is it an absolute ride. The most feminine rage I've EVER felt while reading a book. Zetian grows up in a world based on ancient China where humans live on one side of "The Great Wall" to protect themselves from the aliens that have come to their world and live freely on the other side of the wall. To fight these aliens, the government created mechas piloted by men and women (the women are called "concubines") combat them. But there's a catch- the women never survive a battle, but the men always return home to glory. Zetian's sister is given up as a concubine and dies before even making it to the battle field. And this pisses off our main character who goes on an absolute rampage against her government. AND IT'S SO GOOD. Highly recommend!

[@valentineboudaud1887]

100% agree ! I was shocked that a YA novel went there but it WENT there !

[@soreign13]

@@valentineboudaud1887 crossing my fingers that the sequel will be more new adult rather than YA!

[@tragic_comic2189]

Yessss! I listened to Dolores on audible and it was so good! I told someone else to listen to it and they loved it. I def agree it is best listened too. So amazing.

[@jillianmarie6502]

Our queen Mona Awad’s “Alls Well” is also a fantastic good for her. Taylor Adams’ latest “The Last Word” is one of my fave good for hers. The newest Ruth Ware “Zero Days” is a solid good for her. It’s a spoiler but one of my fave unexpected good for hers is … Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens (even tho author is trash)

[@jupiter4334]

I literally wanna read all of them 🐐🐐🐐

[@lea6385]

I just knew what the last book was gonna be as soon as you said its a little spoiler

I found the Barbie movie more of a Ken movie masked as a Barbie movie tbh huge let down 😢

[@books-on-a-wire]

You really need to continue Girl in 6E, yes the romance (and smut) builds but you also get her backstory. It's an amped up Mindf*ck series.

[@nataliejohnson8117]

I THANK YOU so for this video because The Mindf*ck series has had me messed up for days and I’m in a bad slummmppp..so thank you soo much queen 👸🏻🐐

[@Stephanie.713]

I am starting to feel like I am the only person who didn't love Gone Girl 😅. That being said the Mindfuck series was a 5 star read for me, I binged it in a day), also your description of Slewfoot is the first one I have heard that has encouraged me to give the book a try, looks like I will be adding that to my Fall TBR!

[@literarylove123]

I always recommend They Never Learn. Top-notch good for her for sure! And definitely Dolores Claiborne and Carrie. I just finished my MA in English Thesis which focused on the power of intergenerational female connection in Stephen King's It, Carrie, Gerald's Game, and Dolores Claiborne. I also LOVE The Weight of Blood, too. It is such an incredible reimagining of King's Carrie. Also, I totally agree with you, too, about A Dowry of Blood -- such a beautifully written good for her story! Bunny -- also one of my favorites, too. Mona Awad is an autobuy author for me. I can't wait to read Rouge🐐

[@loandbehold7348]

you really need to read "Jane Doe" by Helen Victoria Stone!! I re-read this repeatedly (!) each year b/c it is just so satisfying. GOOD FOR HER INDEED

[@dawniebrooke1158]

Love that book!

[@susiekidd9183]

I’d add “The Color Purple” to the list, both the novel & the film adaptation. Speilberg’s handling of the lesbian scene might be seen as humorously absurd, & his return to religious patriarchy ending is criticized, but the acting in the movie was absolutely unforgettable. It’s one of the few stories, both formats, that made me cry, cheer… gives all the “good for her” feels. It’s impact (it’s a Pulitzer & other prize winner) is profound & while at Uni, I had the opportunity to take many a wonderful deep-dive into the narrative, the author Alice Walker, & all the academic research that followed its publication.

[@jaymetoliver]

Love this video so much Bunny 🐰I got ads on this video :)

[@bluesey-182]

im tentatively recommending the Mara Dyer trilogy for this. im tentative bc im not sure how much you'd like noah shaw but also bc people either love or hate book 3. i will unfortunately take very little criticism for these books bc of what they meant to me as a wee little teenager 😂

[@eridofthegalaxies]

Everytime I watch videos where you talk about unhinged women I keep wanting to recommend this Indian movie named 'BULBUL' (which came out in 2020, by Anvita Dutt) to you because so many of these books remind me of it and it's one of my favourite movies!! AND IT'S SUCH A GOOD FOR HER FILM TOO!!

I read Carrie by Stephen King this month and it was fan freaking tastic It is narrated by none other than Carrie herself, Sissy Spacek. I am team Carrie all the way And Margaret White was a total psycho and deserved what she got in the end, as did the kids who made her life miserable, especially Chris Haakenson and her boyfriend

[@rocio9863]

I love Good For Her stories, thanks Katie. Just wanted to say Bunny is not a difficult book to understand, and it's not Good For Her at all. Speculative fiction is always "is it magic or mental illness?". The fever dream writing allows metaphors, allegories and ambiguity to say something you don't dare to say outright (Schrodinger's asshole). Samantha is a NLOG, the only one on the writing class with real raw talent. The other women, (rich, pretty and glad of being friends in contrast to underdog Sam), are all misogynistic stereotypes who formed a cult like clique to copy and exploit each other because neither has "real" talent like Sam. The "darlings" are the writing drafts (Kill your darlings, get It?). The darlings being the Bunnies "perfect men" means they're writing romance. Sam's darlings are better than the Bunnies, she gave life to a realistic brutish male that also reflects her own anger or whatever, the Bunnies are raging out of jealousy and turn on each other. That's it. That's the book. Good For Her books i also liked: Out by Natsuo Kirino, Where The Crawdads Sing, The Giver Of Stars, The Female of the Species, Sadie, Gone Girl. Móvies i love Practical Magic, Sucker Punch, Gone Girl, Sugar & Spice, Heathers, Jennifer's Body if we erase from our conscience the ending and imagine both Jennifer and Needy went after the bad guys... The Craft if we erase the ending were the White rich girl takes away the power from the others: the disable girl with cronic pain and desfigured by burns, the black girl mad at racists and the poor girl with abusive parents... Also i don't feel Barbie was a good Good For Her story because they babygirlified abusers neglecting patriarchy is systemic, and It panders to this bullshit "men loneliness pandemic" propaganda that goes around justifying the increasing violence against women. Also at the end Barbie accepts "not all nights have to be girls night" on a fantasy world created to give women positive representation to help us deal with the soul crushing horrors of patriarchy 😂 give us a break
