i want a book that fits people who are feeling lonely. i don’t want big bonds between inseparable friends, i don’t want happy marriages, i want regular people working through life and maybe as unhappy and lonely as me! thank you
Have you read the book thief. It’s about hiding from Nazis and Hitler.
