Lad Lit

This genre is pretty self-explanatory: literature written by men, with the main character being male. So why would it be classified under the “chick lit” genre? Mainly because the tone is very similar to chick lit’s tone. The men in these books are often going through dating, work scenarios, love, family issues, and more. Sometimes these books have male and female characters, so the line between chick lit and lad lit gets really fuzzy. In any case, it’s fascinating to see perspectives from the male point of view. This genre has also been described as “What books would be if Bridget Jones was a guy”.
