i’m trying to find a book that has a lot of depth and isn’t super cheesy. I LOVE Where the Crawdads Sing. I love the style of writing and the depth of the book, but I tried looking up books that are similar to it and it was only coming up with historical fiction books which i’m not the hugest fan of. I do like historical fiction especially if there’s a romance but it can be boring if not. I’m not dead set on only reading romance but I just want it to be interesting enough to keep me wanting to read it and not feel like it’s a chore to pick up. I’m super sick of the super cheesy romance novels that are popular right now and I just read normal people and was very underwhelmed. Does anyone have any suggestions that fit this criteria?

The Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy! A beautiful family epic.
The outsiders by SE Hinton
I would suggest checking out Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns
I think a book with depth that isn’t cheesy is a…very general request, actually. Have you ever read The Remains of the Day, or anything else by Kazuo Ishiguro (e.g. Never Let Me Go)?
Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid (set in the 1980s, so hopefully that’s not too historical).
