Denial is a river in Egypt

A list where the MC is in denial about something at some point, and we'd probably all be better off if they just admitted it !

This is based on my take of the MCs, but I'm open to critique and discussion about the books chosen to be part of the list, and always open to suggestions.

I'd also like to note that, although we might judge a little, we do not shame people who are in denial, nor dismiss whatever hardships they're going through.

In case anyone cares, the title is a "Wendyism". The correct phrase is "Denial is NOT JUST a river in Egypt" Otherwise thank you for the list šŸ™‚ā€ā†•ļø
