    “Reading makes you sexy”
    The study found that 58 percent of readers were very satisfied when both parties read books, compared to 39 percent when neither party reads. Although attractiveness is subjective, the study also found that 81% of women and 77% of men believed that being a reader was attractive.
    Sooooo yeah.

    Just in case you're wondering, the genre of each book is in the brackets. I also put some trigger warnings for two of the books - "The Girl With the Louding Voice" by Abi Daré and "Yolk" by Mary H.K. Choi - as these books contain heavy themes such as rape and eating disorders. Hopefully, this helps
