This list is made possible by all the πŸ«›πŸβ€™ers who came through for me during a terrible breakup. I asked the club for joyful nonfiction recs because fiction is too emotionally fraught for what I’m going through.

I hope these books can bring you some hope, relief, or perspective. Together, we can get through this 😊
