    I also read The Bodyguard last month and it became one of my favorite books of all time. It was just super cute 💕 I would recommend you read Sarah Adams books. They are pretty much closed door and super cozy. The Cheat Sheet, When in Rome and Practice makes perfect have been my favorites by her.

    - Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries (Heather Fawcett)
    - The Reading List (Sara Nisha Adams)
    - The Stationary Shop (Marjan Kamali)
    Currently, my favourite book is Babel by R.F. Kuang. Such an interesting story, unlike anything I’ve ever read.

      I'd love to give you a tiny overview of each book but I'm not the best writing synopses. For a general overview I'd recommend you check Goodreads. Also, please look up the trigger warnings for each book before you pick it up. For each book I've written a 'read [title book] if you...' recommendation so you can see wether it fits your taste.
      Read 'The last take of the flower bride' if you: like mysteries; like fantastical stories where you're constantly wondering if your reading a fantasy novel or just looking inside the minds of girls obsessed with fairytales; want to read about characters that make you feel all kinds of emotions (at one point one really got under my skin); want to read beautiful prose; like gothic vibes; prefer stand-alone books/stories.
      Read 'Emily Wilde's encyclopaedia of faeries' if you: are looking for a cozy fantasy story with a some romance; like stories set in Scandinavia; are into faeries; like stories with academic undertones (but are not quite in the dark academia genre); can relate to an introverted main character; prefer a series of books (trilogy, second book just came out).
      Read 'The reading list' if you: like books about books; are ok with reading about difficult topics like loneliness and grief but that is wrapped in a cozy setting (difficult to describe this); like different storylines that come together at some point in the book; like stories set in the London suburbs; want to read a book with Hindi (Indian-English) main characters; prefer stand-alone books.
      Read 'The stationery shop' if you: like historical fiction; like romance; want to read about Iranian history, culture and main characters; like reading stories where two timelines interchange each other; want to read a sad/bittersweet story that might make you cry (I sobbed); prefer stand-alone books/stories.
      Read 'Babel' if you: like magical realism/historical fantasy/urban fantasy and the dark academia genre; are looking for a book that makes you think about colonialism, racism and revolution; want a book containing a mix of characters (ethinically/racially); want to read a book set in Oxford, England; a book that makes you sob (I've never cried so much reading a book); prefer stand-alone books/stories.
      Hope this helps

It's a romance story but there's an underlying question as to something that's happened, but they give you little nuggets throughout to help clue you up.
