hopecore nonfiction for when you are grieving đŸ«‚

This list is made possible by all the đŸ«›đŸâ€™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 😊

I hope it cheers you! I’m excited to get into these myself. I’m gonna start with Make Believe I think.
