imo Emily Henry book titles only make sense once you’ve read the book, and even then I don’t always think they’re good or suit the book

I was just thinking this about The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith. If “the price of salt” is some kind of symbolism or a reference to something, I don’t get it. The book’s usually published under the title Carol now.

That is a really interesting question, the only one I can think of would be the book I am in the middle of, *The Jungle* by Upton Sinclair. The novel is set in 20th Century Chicago and focuses on the corruption of early American industrialism, specifically in the meat packing industry.
I suppose the book is not *really* about a jungle…

Witold Gombrowicz – [Ferdydurke](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15581.Ferdydurke?). Not only is the title not mentioned at all anywhere in the book, it is a complete nonsense word, in English and the original Polish.

Next Year For Sure by Zoey Leigh Peterson. There’s really nothing about missing an opportunity that comes around yearly. Great book though.
The whole Twilight series.
Each Night Was Illuminated by Jodi Lynn Anderson. Great book, but…?
