"Give Me A Chance To Bleed, I Can't Be Hercules"
Inspired by the song "Hercules" by Livingston! :) These are books with characters that realized they couldn't be the "Hercules" or the strong and/or "perfect" person that everyone, even themselves, wanted them to be. My interpretation includes, but isn't limited to: breaking societal standards, coming out as lgbtq+, fighting being misunderstood by family and friends, both external and internal pressure to be the best, and the battle of physical and mental illness.
