just finished reading this after sitting on my bookshelf for 10+ years. one of my favorite reads this year although re: your criteria, it may be a little bit depressing but in a chill nothing matters type of way. Confusing at parts (which is kinda fun) and would consider rereading
Genuinely the best book I have ever read. For sure hard to get through especially in the beginning, but once you get through the half way point it’s easy sailing (no pun intended). This book made me cry, made me think about myself so differently, and I just really connected with the characters and the writing. I literally couldn‘t read anything for like a week after because I was still thinking about it.
