Personally: Liesl and Po by Lauren Oliver. Something about feeling lonely as a kid felt relatable. One of my parents was sick a lot when I was growing up, the other parent didn't really know wtf to do with me. Books were escapism for me.
I wanted to be Liesl for a long time. Going on an adventure and making the world bright again.
Admittedly I'm a rather young adult, still in post-secondary. We'll see if this book sticks with me. I should do a reread at some point.
