Women’s Fiction – Friendship Between Women in Novels

Friendship Genre for Contemporary Fiction

My favorite novels always include a tight friendship base.  Women bouncing ideas and issues off one another, calling one another on their stuff.  In fact, I really do not like to begin reading a book and suspect the lead characters do not have friends before the romantic interest begins.

Also we could consider friendship among women to be a possible soul mate connection (soulmates) because, in many beliefs soul mates do not require a sexual connection or passionate love interest.  Soul mates are a connection of the heart, in these beliefs, therefore a connection could be mother-daughter, brother-sister connection, or friend-friend.


The list of novels below includes most in the above slideshow. If you have suggestions for this list of friendship fiction for contemporary women’s fiction, please send an email, or better yet, use the comment box below. To order one of the novels, use the link to each in the slideshow for now.

    Recently, I read The Help, which I found to be an amazing story of friendship, mutual respect, understanding, and growth.

    My favorite novels also involve friendships between women. These reads are good for the soul and leave the reader feel friended as well.
