I just had a pretty brutal breakup of a very intense 2 year relationship, and I'm looking to distract myself. If anyone has any recommendations for novels that are really engrossing with a fast paced plot and vivid characters that would be awesome. I do have a pretty dark sense of humor so books with a bit of darkness are good as long as they aren’t actually sad or nihilistic. I’m open to pretty much all genres other than romance. Lol. A book having a romantic subplot is fine though. Just for a starting point, because I know this was a bit vague, some of my favorite authors are Kurt Vonnegut, Octavia Butler, and Ursula K. Le Guin.
But especially if anyone else has a book that really helped them with a breakup or other bad time in their life that they want to share, I would really love that.
