What is a book that was similar to a circumstance in your life? Mine is Family Matters by Rohinton Mistry.

mostly not the situation but like the emotional state of characters that are close to home always get to me, like the MC in Turtles all the way down, not perse her OCD but how she thinks of people and self esteem, maybe also the same with Mickey in the rest of us just live here, and I’m probably forgetting some but those stayed with me because I really could connect with their thought process

I had to stop reading Little Girl Gone because the MCs post natal depression was written so well that it genuinely drove me to a screaming crying flashback filled panic attack over how I was when I first had my son….but it was so well written that I really want to read it properly I’m just too chicken now 🤦🏻‍♀️
