"Oh, good grief!" ❤️‍🩹

Fiction books of different genres that l've read so far that portray grief in a good and relatable way (not necessarily as the main topic)

Ps: I'm always open to read more about this topic, so please feel free to recommend me more!

I just read the plot and it does sound like it could be in this list! Added it to my TBR so I can hopefully read it soon

It’s great. Haven’t seen the movie yet but am hoping to soon!

Middle grade, but The Widely Unknown Myth of Apple & Dorothy by Corey Ann Haydu is one of the best explorations of grief, identity, friendship, and family that I've read.

I finished it earlier and I really enjoyed it! Thank you again for the recommendation. You were so right about those topics, especially the grief part ❤️‍🩹 Just added it to the list 🫶🏻

I'm so glad you liked it! It was one of those books I picked up because I was drawn to the art, but it ended up being so good and has stuck with me the last couple of years.

I’m open to books of all genres and for all ages, so this recommendation is absolutely welcome! Added it to my TBR and I found the audiobook version, so I’m definitely gonna read it soon ☺️
