Try the It Girls series. or Speak (Goood book. And short.)
Protector of the Small series- Tamora Pierce (or any other of her books. She's amazing, and usually has women heroine's. And most of her books are short too.)
TTYL and its sequel TTFN (Both teen books-- all done in Chat or online blog format. They look long, but thats because of how they are written.)
Sabriel, Lirael and Abhorsen (Kind of long, but not 1000 pages. Really good.) by Garth Nix
The Princess Diaries series- Meg Cabot.
1-800- Where Are You?- Meg Cabot (its a series. But the books are short.)
Nora Roberts-- ANY of her books. (Trashy Romance, Here be your home...sorta)

Read Hemingway's The old man and the sea. It's about 100 pages long and one of the best novels ever written in English.

I'd recommend "The Bonfires of the Vanities" by Tom Wolfe. It's not a romance novel but easy to read and very entertaining. But most importantly, it will help you understand real world.

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, If you can get into it.
If not, go for some Tamorra Pierce Books. They give off a hip, female empowerment vibe, lol.
