Loneliness might hit you like a tidal wave you didn’t see coming, or it can creep up on you slowly. Feeling lonely is nothing to be embarrassed about, and as a voracious reader and introvert, I’ve discovered that books are excellent antidotes to loneliness.

Stories have a magical touch that tends to make every situation in life seem a bit simpler to manage, whether it’s a novel about lonely individuals or a major adventure that’ll make you forget you’re feeling lonely.

We know how isolating loneliness can affect a person. It’s terrifying, heartbreaking, and difficult to relate to because everyone goes through it differently. Whatever is causing your loneliness, know that you are not alone. Though it may take some time, it will not last indefinitely.

We’ve compiled a collection of inspiring novels that have helped us feel better and less lonely over the years, in case you need some cheering up or need someone to relate to.
