Best book read in 2025

This story is up for speculation. But this is one of my favorite books. The confusion for three sections of a man’s life and how he hid depression and knew he was a broken and hurtful person but couldn’t fix himself along with other heart wrenching events. This book will definitely be a highly recommended book from me.
