Asking 4 Book Recs/my own Recs

Recently, ive read stuff like The Virgin Suicides, The Immortalists, and REJECTION... dont even get me started on rejection.

First off, im obviously recommending those 3 books,
The Virgin Suicides is very melancholy and has this dreadful but calm vibe throughout the whole book, and the 70's aesthetic is impossible to rip out of your life after you watch the adapted movie (which is only tolerable if you've read the book IMO).
The Immortalists poses the question of what its like to know the date of your death, i really enjoyed it and i was surprised when some people complained about the beginning being slow (which i understand but i like a good exposition).
Rejection is, well, its insane. If you like interconnected short stories, and a more present day setting with a very 'meta' look on life, this is definitely for you. Ive never had a book that has confronted such recent agendas before (mostly because i barely read any recently published books anymore). This book has a lot of stuff about obsession, self blaming, obliviousness, and complexes, you'll like it if you're into seeing how someones thinking patterns can evolve and slowly turn into something previously unrecognizable.

Anyways, the point of this post was me asking if anyone has read any one of these books, if they knew anything similar that exists out there. I'm reading Carrie by SK right now, which im liking so far, there is a sort of lack of character growth that im sensing (i could be completely wrong, but i'll only know when im done.)
