TLDR: the life that I thought I needed and wanted turned out to not be what’s meant for me. Can anyone recommend literary fiction books with similar themes?

I’ve recently had a few big milestones in my life that have made me rethink a lot about who I am. I just turned 30 and I spent a lot of my 20s thinking I was on (and needed to be on) a very specific path, one that was largely domestic and traditional. About 6 months ago I got out of a very serious and even more toxic relationship, and now that path makes no sense to me. The world truly feels like my oyster!
I now have hobbies when I’ve never had real hobbies before!! I’ve become a voracious reader, am taking art and poetry classes, consistently volunteer at my local charity shop, and really prioritize traveling.
I’m really excited about what’s ahead for me, but I don’t have many people in my life who’s next chapter is so unwritten. So id love to find some book-friends to share this with!
Can anyone recommend books about life path shifting or evolving? I tend to prefer more very emotional literary fiction; some of my favorites are a tree grows in Brooklyn, the goldfinch, and a little life (I can be a bit of a masochist). I’m open to memoirs (I loved the year of magical thinking) but not really interested in self help.
Thank you!!
