    I need to have a good, cathartic cry — but I struggle to find books that make me sob.

    Here are some books that did not make me cry:

    A Separate Peace by John Knowles Of Mice & Men by John Steinbeck The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

    Books that made me cry as an adult:

    A Little Life by Hanya Yanigihara

    Please recommend me ANY AND EVERYTHING.

    Thank you!

      I think I cried the most during the last book but the Beartown series by Fredrick Backman. Oh and A Man Called Ove by the same author.

    2. They Both Die at The End by Adam Silvera

      theres a prequel and a sequel that comes out next month

    3. ThemisChosen on

      Brightly Burning by Mercedes Lackey

      The Last Herald Mage trilogy by Mercedes Lackey

      Her philosophy towards writing is to create a character the audience really likes and empathizes with, then drop a mountain on them

    4. DiscoDeathStar on

      Nickel Boys by Colston Whitehead

      And I second The Book Thief.

      Read both of these on two separate car trips. Tears both times.
