Book recommendations for a solo trip…something that helps me reconnect with myself?

hey everyone,

i’m going on an almost solo trip soon (with my sibling but still, i’ll be away from home for like 2 months) and it feels like a bigger deal than i expected.

i’ve been feeling really… off about myself lately. like i don’t fully know who i am. some days i feel super empathetic and aware and like i *get* myself, and then other days i feel disconnected, almost like i’m a different person or just not really there for myself at all, lets just say disassociated in a way.

it’s kind of exhausting, and i think i’ve been avoiding actually sitting with it.

i want to use this trip to figure myself out a little, or at least feel more grounded in who i am.

so i’m looking for a book (preferably fiction) that:

* really pulls you in / is hard to put down

* but also hits you emotionally or makes you think about yourself and who you always wanted to be

* deals with identity, inner conflict, or just feeling lost in general

something that stays with you, not just a “good story”

if a book made you feel seen or changed how you look at yourself even a little, i’d love to know

thanks 🙂
