My partner took his life a couple weeks ago and I’m a mess. I normally turn to reading for distraction but I cannot handle any romance or anything sad at the moment. Not even the mention of a relationship. I’m hoping people can give me book recs that have zero romance and nothing super emotional either. Like, is there a book version of the vibe of great British baking show? Wholesome, friendly, zero romance or sadness? I’m open to fiction or non fiction. I love a cozy mystery but find those still have romantic relationships as side stories or mentioned.
Thanks in advance

Really sorry for your loss. You might want to try some travel memoirs or books about hobbies – like travel writing where someone just explores different places and food, or books about people learning new skills. I’ve found cookbooks with stories can be surprisingly comforting too, just people talking about food and memories without any heavy emotional stuff
