Help a postpartum mom find a book

I am in desperate need of an easy to read book I can get lost in. My week has been the most emotionally and mentally challenging time in my life, please help me find an easy escape. I’m open to quite literally any suggestion.

Hand expression gets more than pump? Is this normal?

My oldest I pumped for is 3.5 yrs old so it’s been a minute since I’ve pumped but I don’t remember struggling with him. I am still very early, only 5 days PP, my milk seemed to come in with engorgement as expected but getting it out is challenging. My pump I used last go isn’t doing great, like drops only after 15-20 but if I hand express after I get over an ounce before 7 minutes. Is this typical? I delivered twins , one vaginally the other c section so I’m wondering if the c section has anything to do with it? I have met with one LC and we got me correctly sized flanges (17mm) and that helped with pumping pain but my output is still not good 😭
