I'm going to give a lot of context so if you try to think of the perfect book you have all the necessary information. TLDR: I need a good, thoughtful book for when you are slightly lonely and single and need to shake your life up.
My life has been a lot of ups and downs. All was good until middle school, when I hated everything and cried a lot. Then I found my friends and all went well. Then I went to online school with COVID. Then I went back and all was amazing. Then, through a series of horrible events, I ended up in a mental health hospital and quit high school, moving back online. A few months ago, I graduated school. I have reconnected with many of my old friends, I am writing a novel, and I am loving life. I am in a bit of a reading slump, so I am going through old favorites. However, I still feel like something is missing from my life. I am currently single and feel a bit lonely in that regard. I have friends I can talk to, but when things spiral downhill, I don't have someone I really trust to have my back.
No, I am not asking for recommendations of books about dating, or books about making better friends. I am looking for books that will change my outlook on life. Books that will help me realize how perfect everything is now with all my friends that I love. I definitely want a fiction book. I think the only book I have read before that really lines up with what I am looking for was Klara and the Sun. Some others that come close were Never Let Me Go, Sputnik Sweetheart, and The Great Gatsby.
With all that said, does anyone have recommendations that might fit this situation?
