i really enjoy books that reflect on the affects of mental illness, trauma responses, and addiction. for reference, i have read books such as My Dark Vanessa, The Glass Girl, You’d be Home Now, The Way I Used To Be, Perks of Being a Wallflower, Lolita, Wintergirls, and Crank, and i am searching for more gut wrenching books like that, so if anyone has any suggestions i’m all ears
