I used to love reading, but between my mental and physical health struggles, I stopped. I would really love to start reading again and could use some suggestions!
I really enjoy fictional stories with that “damsel in distress” trope – that idea that someone is going to save you, whether it be from yourself or something else. Bonus points if mental health is a topic, I’m drawn to darker stories.
Here are some of the books I remember reading that I liked:
– My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga
– Sweet Dandelion by Micalea Smeltzer
– Pretty and Reckless by Charity Ferrell
– Rock Hard by Nalini Singh
– Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi.
– Medicine Man by Saffron A. Kent
– Prescribed by D.D. Parker
– Evermore by Alyson Noël
– Restless Souls by Dan Sheehan
– The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
– The Twilight Saga (don’t judge, I was young and impressionable and now it’s just nostalgic/comforting 😅)
– Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead (same reasoning as above lol)
– The Vampire Diaries (did not read the book but I was obsessed with the show – I heard they’re very different though)
– Also… embarrassing… but I was a wattpad girly who loved fan fiction about a certain boy band (kidnapped, body guard, adopted, etc. tropes all got me in my feels back in the day).
Would greatly appreciate any suggestions! 😊
