What books have you read that were absolute stand alone stand outs?! You can’t really compare them to anything but they changed you the moment you read them? Looking for lands not yet wandered. Seeking a story I haven’t yet experienced through other characters or worlds in other pages.

Thanks!

My brilliant friend by elena ferrante. haven’t read anything like it, haven’t read anything better than it. ignore the book cover, their marketing team is horrible and makes it look like one of those $2 trashy romances.

Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi. Thought it was outstanding, have never read anything like it!
