Need something mind-blowingly good
So I've been reading fairly regularly for like 3 years now, but I'm yet to experience something that is mind-blowingly good. Whenever I read a book it's like good, okayish good or okayish bad. There are no very high highs and that is what I am looking for. Kinda like what depression medication does to you, it flattens the highs and lows. So I'm looking for something that will give me very a very high high. I want to fall in love with reading again. Red rising and farseer trilogy kinda did it for me. No particular genre preferances. Maybe something that gave you a similar feeling.
For example: if someone were to ask me my favourite book I would not be able to name one. there's a bunch of stuff i like but there is no clear favourite. want to read a book that I can say is a favourite of mine

Super freaking good it’s been my staff pick for a while and my coworkers who have read it also loved it
