Think in the vein of A Little Life. I’ve been reading No Longer Human, which sort of has what I want- I do love it, but I really love how in-depth ALL was for a fictional persons life. I want something similar to that, preferably from the third person, but first person is fine! And apologies if I’m describing it wrong- I’m not sure what to refer to it as. I just love going through someone’s life.
