reading a novel

Author

reading a very good fiction novel helps healing (to me it did, because I learned from the characters of the book)

was there a character or moment in a book that hit you like “damn, that’s me” or showed you a different way to heal?

through the book, I followed the thoughts and choices of the main character. since the character's personality is so different than mine, I learned from her experiences. and since the novel is really good, what I learned feels relevant to me

this helped me too. sometimes stepping into someone else’s story gives your heart a break from replaying your own. even a few pages can feel like relief

same here ❤️ reading fiction saved me when i couldn’t deal with my own thoughts. i got so attached to the characters that i learned how to survive through them when i didn’t know how myself.

I also find that reading helps alot to take my mind off the situation.What is the name of the novel?

Pride and prejudice - Jane Austen. So worthy. It actually reminds you how to love properly
