I'm trying now with an audiobook and so far so good! So, let's see how that goes but reading something of an entirely different genre sounds like it could work, I'll definitely try that the next time.
The book was "The Upside of Unrequited" by Becky Albertalli, a YA novel which honestly it wasn't even that good but Molly, the main character, has such a strong voice and I completely fell in love with her in a heartbeat! Now, I kind of miss her. 😂
Falling love with a fictional character is such a mystical thing! May have to check that one out at the library. :)
