    I'm soooo in agreement about a Man Called Ove. I read it for the first time in 2020 when the reading prompt was "A book about a senior citizen." I did not expect to like it based on its description, but I was doing a book challenge, so I thought "What the hell, why not." So glad I did, and I've read it twice since.

    I'd watched the anime movie of Five Centimetres Per Second a year ago and ended up crying a river (the ending IS truly heartbreaking😭) but I'd loved the story, so hope to pick up the manga soon. Before The Coffee Gets Cold and Heartstopper are two of my all time favourite books. Can't wait to check out the others too!
    Also, I had a manga I'd love to recommend to you which also fits the vibe of this video - Banana Fish.
    It's overall storyline is quite tragic (won't give any spoilers😅) but the relationship b/w the two main characters gives you all the feels. The story has quite a few trigger warnings, but it's one of the most heartwarming (and heartbreaking) stories I've ever read/watched (it has an anime too!). I hope you'll love it too🤍

    I loved it so much and it really moved me. By the end I just had to let it out and I cried for at least 10 minutes ( even if the ending wasn't particularly sad). I highly recommend it !

    A book that very surprisingly made me feel (a LOT) is A School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan. it's not the kind of book i'd typically read, i mainly picked it up because the cover was really pretty and it was on sale, but oh my god this book made me feel so many strong emotions.
    i felt so angry, and frustrated (for the character, not the book itself lol), and so SAD (but also happy at times). i went into the book not expecting much, and finished the book completely HEARTBROKEN and in awe. Its the only book that left me genuinely sobbing- I've cried many times reading books but i think this book is the one i cried the hardest. I was reading the last two chapters and I was so surprised that I was even tearing up let alone sobbing at every paragraph (every time i stopped crying there was a new part that made me cry lol)
    it takes place in the modern world but has dystopian elements, it's about a mother who has a "very bad day" and has to go to this school where they teach "bad mothers" to be "good", and (loosely) gives me the handmaid tale/detroit become human/black mirror vibes (this probably wont make sense until you read it)
    the main character (and i believe the author) is Chinese, and also has some bits about growing up with immigrant parents/ being asian ! (ps i would check for tw's if needed)

    I recently bought 'Before the Coffee' after seeing Jesse talk about over on jessethereader. It's currently near the top of my TBR.
    -----
    Lot's of awesome recs that I'm greatly looking forward to reading. Have you ever read a book called 'Letter to D: A Love Story' by Andre Gorz? That is a book that will definitely make you feel all the feels and it's quite short at 144 pages, and all the more potent because it's true. I would add trigger warnings for terminal illness and suicide.

    4:28 The reason that you don't learn about the Wilhelm Gustloff-disaster is actually as simple as it is sad: It doesn't matter. It takes place in thwe last few months of WWII, it's a German ship, that sank by Sovjet-doing and, how tragic it is, it isn't a significant event in the grand scale of things. It had little to no impact on the war itself, so why mention it at school if youy have a lot of history to get through anyway?

    I recently read Maybe in Another Life and I loved it. I read Daisy Jones & the Six earlier this year, and The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo a couple years ago, but at the moment, Maybe in Another Life is my fave. But when I was reading Evelyn Hugo and Daisy Jones I kept thinking to myself 'this is good. but I know I'll enjoy it so much more on a reread.' So it'll be interesting to see where they land when I DO finally reread them, because I love Maybe in Another Life as much as I'm ever going to, so one of them may top it.
    And even though I haven't read One True Loves, I can't wait for the movie.

I can’t believe I didn’t recognize the book based on description either time… I’ve both read it and watched the movie adaptation SO many times and I just feel ashamed I didn’t even consider it might being that one 😭😭 but as I said, there’s a movie about it too and it’s sooo good, got many Oscar nominations and now when googling it I saw that Tom Hanks is in it for some reason lols but yeah you should totally watch it!!! I’m just not used to English speaking people saying Swedish/Scandinavian names so that’s probs why I didn’t understand it was that book 💔 broke my heart a little

    It's coming up on the one year anniversary of my mother's death. The Astonishing Color of After is absolutely the book I needed I didn't know I needed. Going to purchase ASAP. Thanks for the recommendation.
