I read On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous a while ago, and it really stuck with me. The writing was so honest and poetic, I haven’t found anything like it since.
Looking for something with that same raw, introspective feel.
Any suggestions?

Im planning to read his latest book next week.
Recs:
This is how you lose the Time War by Amal El Mohtar
Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin
Swimming In The Dark by Tomasz Jedrowski
André Aciman has that feeling to his works. I always say he could write about sewer pipes and I’d probably still get emotional about it. Recommend Eight White Nights or Enigma Variations.
Different in theme but similarly poetic is Maps of Our Spectacular Bodies by Maddie Mortimer.
