I’m looking for fiction where the protagonist(s) is hyping themselves up/ working towards an outcome based on their understanding and perceptions. However as the story progresses their understanding doesn’t match reality, because of the nature of reality or delusions / naivety/ conscious or unconscious denial of the protagonist(s). Ultimately there’s a massive heartbreak or disillusionment.
I’m actually not looking for romance here. Though it’s fine if you feel
Something really works ( please don’t suggest genre romance)
I’m not asking for a copy of the story.
