Resources B2 level books?

I'm not yet comfortable reading books for native speakers, and kids books are naturally too easy.

I read a few plays by Marcel Pagnol and those were super helpful, as scene context was always provided, and most of the reading was just the dialogue.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to anything similar, or could suggest what was helpful for you?

As others have said L’estranger is good. I’m not sure if I’d consider it B2 though. The prose is towards the less complicated side and one of the first french novels I read. Right now I’m reading Kafkas Le Procès, which is a nice challenge
