Saw this list title floating around on Letterboxd and couldn’t get it out of my head, so I had to try a books version.
Looking for stories that capture that feeling of being young, full of life, but also unsure, drifting, searching for meaning, identity, or just your place in the world.
few that came to mind:
- The Catcher in the Rye — J.D. Salinger
- Norwegian Wood — Haruki Murakami
- The Bell Jar — Sylvia Plath
- Normal People — Sally Rooney
- My Year of Rest and Relaxation — Ottessa Moshfegh
- Call Me by Your Name — André Aciman
- A Little Life — Hanya Yanagihara
Doesn’t matter if it’s classic, contemporary, popular, or obscure. It just has to feel like being young and a little lost.
Let’s build the list together !!
