can someone suggest a book where it is sad and deals with the brokenness of life? idk how to explain it but something that when i read it, the words will trigger my emotions in a realistic kind of way? it could be about poetry, love, life, self-help. anything that is realistically sad or broken. something like r.h. sin’s works? not necessarily a novel, something that is direct
EDIT: pls also suggest where I can read or get it. tysm!!

*The House of Sand and Fog*
It is a novel, but such a unique, sad story that really resonates (I think) in today’s climate.
*Lit* by Mary Karr. It’s a memoir about her being a mom and an alcoholic and as far as broken-ness … the clarity with which she describes that state is breathtaking. It will make you feel.
*Educated* by Tara Westover will, too, about being raised in and eventually breaking away from fundamentalist religion, but relatable no matter what kind of family struggles you’ve dealt with.
