Nowadays, we tend to spend a lot of our free time binge-watching Netflix shows or stalking a guy's Instagram back 73 weeks ago. Picking up a good book just isn't a priority anymore. There's a lot to learn from a good book and what better time to enlighten ourselves than in our 20s?

Turn off the wifi and check out 20 books for girls in their 20s:

1. "The Love Affairs Of Nathaniel P" by Adelle Waldman
