Im looking for a book that best captures the feeling of yearning for a person in every sense of the word; i want to avoid YA novels and works of the like as I don't want to feel like I'm reading surface-level nonsense that just uses the word "yearn" instead of capturing what it is feels like/means through extensive prose
I want something that I can learn from; I want to learn how to express my love, be it through example in the form of a romance novel or something more non-fictional like a self-help book.
I want to find something that speaks to the feelings in my heart that I ofttimes have difficulty expressing; i want to see how some of the greatest characters written express their love in their stories or how certain authors deal with these emotions.
Thank you in advanced!
