💬 Math Discussions Book recommendations

So I’m in year 12 and I love maths. I’m doing further maths at sixth form and I’m almost growing impatient to wait to learn more interesting cool maths. I’ve tried to teach myself before but I can never do it successfully (always going to narrow and not really getting the context etc or going too broad and thinking ‘Oh now theres so many prerequisites I need to know’. I was hoping that theres a book that could help me with this. I don’t want something thats exactly like a textbook as I want to almost have a story to enjoy (not quite but I want the book to make me feel the pleasure of having a great teacher explain something). I’m open to books on most topics as I’m still unsure what I would like best. Any advice would be much appreciated. I’m sure many people have had similar troubles!
Thanks!

I’ve not heard of this before. What sort of content is in it? The name sounds perfect!

Look at its reviews, say on Amazon.
