So I recently read two awfully sad books. The Paris Architect, and Where the Crawfads Sing. Very well written, engaging books but too sad for me 😢
Anyone have more uplifting clean (ish) books?

Alexander McCall Smith's books are pretty clean and upbeat.(Series, not standalones which can be meh-ish.) I don't remember them all well but do remember being very moved by some passages in Tears of a Giraffe about Mr. JLB Matekoni and his foster children. That said, I don't like AMS's hashkafos.
If you read cozies, Donna Andrews's Meg Langslow series is generally light; of course one does get desensitized from the inevitable murders even if the victims were generally pieces of work. But that's the nature of the genre.
Oh, and I haven't read them in years: the Mossy Creek books were sweet afai remember.
