Hi pals, I have been broken up recently, and it came as a shock. The relationship was 5.5 years long, and I am really feeling the loss hard. My days are spent non-stop thinking and lots of crying. I am reading On the Road right now, but all the travel and desire that Sal is experiencing bring me to some of my fondest memories of the relationship. It can be painful to read because I know I won't get to have those experiences again with him.
I am wondering about recommendations for two types of books;
A book that will see my pain and will hold my hand, because the author knows how deep this suffering goes.
Or, a book that is about something else. Fantasy maybe? Scifi? Even willing to go historical/historical fiction. I am not usually into those genres. But please, no romance or stories about too much travel. More like, interesting stories that will give me a break from my heartbreak. I am thinking of The Lord of the Rings, but of course, it's one of his favourite series, so I know that will always be in my head as I read the novels.
Please note that I am NOT looking for anything that will give me hope or advice on how to work through this. I want the book to acknowledge my pain and meet me where I am. Or, completely distract me from it.
I am grateful for any recommendations <3

Anything Terry Pratchett with the discworld series. He is a fun read imo.
