I typically only read non-fiction, but I recently read a fiction book and quite enjoyed just following a story if that makes sense. I’d love a gripping story that’s also relevant to real life. Something that leaves me just sitting in silence contemplating everything I thought I knew.
Thanks in advance!

Try Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis.” It’s a short story about a man who turns into an insect, exploring themes of identity and alienation, leaving you in deep thought.

These books left me drowning in silence. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini gripped my heart with its tale of Amir and Hassan, their shattered innocence against the backdrop of Afghanistan’s turmoil.

Then came I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jenette McCurdy, an unexpected thunderstorm of emotions. McCurdy’s memoir, once a child star’s facade, now revealed the raw scars of her journey through the merciless maze of showbiz. It painted a haunting picture of youthful struggles and the heavy toll fame exacts on the soul.
