I’m travelling for the first time in ages next week and I’m looking for books I can get utterly absorbed by to read on the plane.
I enjoy Ottessa Moshfegh, Mona Awad and I love the genre of depressed/existential women (I guess that’s what I relate to). I don’t connect with fantasy or sci fi.

The Book Thief by Alexander Zukas. Read it on the plane, flight felt like minutes instead of hours.
Writers and Lovers by Lily King came to mind immediately. Land of Milk and Honey by C Pam Zhang was one of my favorites last year that fits in the depressed/existential women category quite well. All-Night Pharmacy by Ruth Madievsky is another dark and weird troubled woman sort of read that you might like if you are a fan of Moshfegh and Awad.
Elinor oliphant is completely fine. It’s so good!
