Oooooh. Hmm. My favourite author atm is Akwaeke Emezi, so anything from them is always good, but i think one of my favourite books that I'll specifically mention instead is The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo. Akwaeke's writing is profound and raw and genuine, but also deeply heartbreaking here and there, which is part of the appeal. The Alchemist is a book that gave me hope when i was in a really huge phase of change in my life, so I'll go with that XD
