Im looking for an almost tragic but definitely beautiful (beautiful like the show euphoria is beautiful – it’s still screwed up) book that feels a little like the lyrics to shoreline and 7seas by Chloe moriondo (look them up if you wanna, it’s not particularly relevant to this post. I want it to be about a love story that could never work, because one is emotionally unavailable and keeps hurting the other but they keep going back to each other. This is hella specific so any recommendations are appreciated!
