    1. “a woman is no man” by etaf rum. it’s about a very young muslim woman in an abusive marriage. it follows her from palestine, where she meets her husband, to brooklyn ny, where she moves after she marries him. she is so depressed and lonely, and it makes it worse that she keeps birthing daughters rather than a son. and it also follows her daughters years later after she passes. i highly enjoyed it.

      The midnight library by Matt haig. It’s very depressing in the first part, but it picks up once she gets to the midnight library. It was such a good book and changed the way I view life

      The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. It’s autobiographical and talks about depression and mental illness as honestly as I’ve ever read.
