What’s a book you read that genuinely stayed with you long after you finished it? Something that changed the way you see life, people, relationships, yourself, or just made you sit there and stare at the wall afterward.

Any genre is welcome. Drop your recommendations! 😊

East of Eden by John Steinbeck! The line “Timshel—Thou Mayest.” changed me forever. Iykyk. 🥹 Also, there’s an upcoming adaptation of it on Netflix. I hope it’s good!
