Hi all! My last few reads have all either been romance or mystery, and I’m not in a sci fi or fantasy mood at the moment (though I am tempted to reread the Poppy War trilogy). Anyway, I’m looking for a contemporary fiction/drama book. It can have elements of romance or some other genre, I’m just burnt out on the genre in general when it is the primary focus of the novel. Some of my favorites:
Frankenstein
Normal People
Revolutionary Road
Perks of Being a Wallflower
The Tale of Despereaux
The Great Gatsby
Thanks in advance!

I really enjoyed The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri. It’s a story following one family over several decades after they emigrate to America from South Asia. Some parts were heartbreaking, some uplifting. A real slice of life
