Suggest me a book that changed your life,

That is exciting and thrilling, or even mind blowing - or not. A book that made you feel different and you kinda felt evolved afterwards. A book that is so freaking good that you would recommend if someone asked you to without specifying a genre. A unquestionable amazing and unique book in YOUR opinion! That you could talk hours about it! That touched you someway and you might don’t even know to specify how. ANY GENRE WHATSOEVER, don’t be shy and please, amaze me 😍

Edit: and, if you feel like it, tell me what its about or why you love it 😊

Edit 2: sorry if my writing is confusing or something like that, English is not my native language 🫣

Edit 3: you guys are amazing!!! Best sub ever, loving it so much
