Count the Ways
A memoir of addiction, recovery, and family life told through letters between Joyce Maynard and her husband — it's nonfiction/memoir with a strong emotional arc (addiction, marriage) rather than plot-driven fiction. Moods lean melancholic and reflective given the subject matter; no romance or thriller tropes apply since this is memoir.
