I’ve been trying to find a book where the characters deal with a breakup as the main plot. No, not a cute sweet exes to lovers type of book. Everytime I try to look up books like this, I always end up with nonfiction self-help books which isn’t what I want either.
I don’t really know how to explain it well… The best way I can think of is by saying I want ‘The Apartment We Won’t Share’ by NIKI as a book. It can focus on one character or both as they deal with the breakup and living a life apart from their partner. I’m in the middle of reading Normal People by Sally Rooney (not even halfway) so I have no clue how this story would continue but something similar to this book except the breakup is a little more… impactful(??) and really dives into the ugly consequences of it.
They should be broken up from the start or close to the start. I wouldn’t want them to have an overly romantic getting back together end but I’m alright with an ambiguous one.
I hope I make sense!
