Non-depressing literary fiction
Hi all! My favorite genre used to be literary fiction. I liked complex and creative novels that explored people and broad themes. However, six years ago I had a depressive episode that honestly left me a little scared (I know it’s a little absurd) of reading anything too depressing. I have just never found my way back to reading the way I used to. I want to ease myself back into the word of intricate and unique novels that really make you think with non-depressing literary fiction. Some might even call them feel-good or cozy. I just need a starting place to get back into these books. Bonus points if they are gay though obviously not a deal breaker. I also love magical realism and urban fantasy so I am not scared of those elements, but that’s not the goal of this post.
