So it's finally happening this week: my stay at a specialist trauma clinic begins. I've been waiting for this practically my entire adult life and I'm somewhat torn between relief and anxiety. As I'll probably be staying for at least two or three months, the question naturally arises as to which books I should take with me and plan to read. (PRIORITIES!)
I'm mainly looking for books that suit this time (sad girl lit?) and perhaps even take place in a setting like this – I have oddly fond memories of Girl, Interrupted – but also,
- nostalgic (summer) reads with 90s/2000s vibes,
- coming of age books, perhaps also with the theme of losing friends/growing out of friendships,
- books that deal with mental health, PTSD, hope, and/or change.
If there are any other books that have helped you through pivotal phases of your life, please do share! Thanks <3
