SEVENTEEN Inspired Reading Challenge: Title Tracks Ed. - hosted by odditiex

Happy Ending — a book with angst but ended on a happy note
What I mean by the prompt is, you get a whole platter of angst (story) as your main course but still get a happy sweets as your dessert (happy ending). So, the story can be heartbreaking but by the end of it, it leads to a happy/hopeful conclusion.

Inspired by:
I feel like the lyrics sort of explored the theme "angst with a happy end".
