I’m looking for books that focus on ordinary life in a really attentive, sensory way — noticing small things like weather, connections, daily routines, with a love story.
Something introspective but not depressing, more calm/soft/comforting.
Similar vibe to Sally Rooney but lighter.

Might not be quite what you’re after but I love The Unselected Journals of Emma M Lion by Beth Brower. Really lovely series about a plucky, independent woman in 19th century London. She is surrounded by a cast of quirky characters and there is a slow burn romantic element but it isn’t the central storyline. Brilliant as audiobooks.
