It doesn’t have to be overly positive, but i’m a late 20s F who just moved to a new city in New England (I’m not from here and I hate the cold). I came for a new (frustrating) job, plus possibly about to start a master’s program, and I am feeling the TOLL of change. All of my close relationships are long distance, including my boyfriend of a year. Mixed with winter blues, I’m just feeling the weight of loneliness, career frustration, missing my family, and having all my romance take place on a screen except for once-a-month visits.
I’m looking for a book that can lift my spirits, remind me that other people feel this way too, and that I didn’t make a terrible mistake by moving out here on my own lol. Preferably fiction — I’m down for narrative nonfiction too, but nothing in the self-help variety.
I’ve been very interested in adding to my literary fiction repertoire, so definitely anything in that genre.
Thank you, and godspeed to anyone who is going through something similar! 🥲
