Similar to a chickflick in that it usually attracts a female audience. A chicklit is a story that is usually posted online by a budding (usually female) author on sites such as fictionpress. They are usually romantic, dramatic, and funny. However, chicklit also refers to a book with a similar romantic-comedy theme. No matter how cliche, a good chicklit can be very addicting.
T -Omigoodness did you read that chicklit about the girl who's torn between the jock, the emo bad boy, and her bff!?
M -No, but you should totally read this other chicklit that's about this girl who is totally in love with this boy who doesn't know she exists!
My sister found out my girlfriend was cheating on me and gave her the hardest chicklit , she went down hard. Don't think she'll be boning anyone for a long time!
