I'm not asking for self help books.
The last I remember reading books for fun was in 7th standard. Chicken soup for teenage soul, Rotten school, the whole selection of Nancy drew series, and endless same-old lovestories by Indian authors.
In the last 10 years I've bought 3 books – To kill a mockingbird, The da vinci code and The Metamorphosis. Didn't even turn a single page till today when I chose the slimmest of them all – The Metamorphosis. And honestly, within 30 minutes of reading it, I was feeling far worse. Good thing books still can affect my mood.
So, I'm seeking recommendation for feel good or highly enticing books that keeps me away from my phone for a 2-3 days and preserves my sanity, or whatever is left of it.
Also, no agatha christie please.

Im reading the bookish life of Nina Hill right now which is easy and low stakes.
The concessions of a shopaholic are easy feel good reads too.
I reread Harry potter a lot too when im feeling down since its so nostalgic for me
YA and kids books tend to be easier for me when I’m going through big things. I like to revisit childhood favorites like Anne of Green Gables, A Wrinkle in Time, The BFG, Mysterious Benedict Society, The Hunger Games. The Twilight books as well; they are light fluffy escapism for the most part.
