Unrequited love

Please tell me I’m not the only one who is watching the “I fell in love with my psychologist” series and is just 👀👀👀 the whole time Kendra is talking. Books are a great way to understand things about ourselves and how other people could few. So I found a few books for Kendra to learn about unrequited love. Because that seems a lesson she needs to take to heart.
