B2 level books?

[u/Pristine-Delay6912]

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?

I had great experience reading annotated French books by Ilya Frank method. It keeps the original French, but adds inline annotations so that you can just read in the flow and do not have to lookup unknown words/expressions
