It's wonderful and so fulfilling to be able to put a feeling or thought into words and John Koenig helps us do just that in "The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows."

This book would make a great addition to every library and bookcase; a book that you can pull off the self whenever you're feeling like it, when you're so lost in your thoughts and feelings and want to find the answers for all those emotions within the pages of a book.

Koenig helps us see through these word entries that we're not alone; that our intrusive thoughts do not belong exclusively to us (like klexos: when we're dwelling on the past) and that unexpected things occur for all of us (like how we've all experienced a moment of tangency: a fleeting glimpse of what might have been).

What I mainly liked in this book:

- The fitting way the words are split into sections
- The use of imagery throughout the book
- The use of quotes in the beginning of each chapter/section
- The pronunciation guide for each word and the mention of the language of origin

Can't wait to purchase a print copy of this beautiful book to add to my collection!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
