This is a little bit of an exaggeration. However, it's true that books don't make me cry much. I'm an absolute bookworm and I don't know why. Does anybody feel similar?
Anyway recommend me a book that will actually get me sobbing.
(Books like a little life were really sad but only made me feel depressed and didn't make me cry.)

If you love animals – The Wall by Marlen Haushofer
The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce
A Monster Calls
I have cried at every Mitch Albom book that I’ve read. The Five People You Meet in Heaven is a good one to trigger crying.
The book thief
I finished ‘When the Cranes fly South’ over the weekend. I haven’t cried in years and even I had to shed a tear on this one.
Diana Gabaldon makes me cry in the Outlander series. Her writing is very evocative.
Betty by Tiffany McDaniel
If you are intellectually tilted, there is a strong recommendation. It won’t make you depressed but the emotional layer of the book will get tears out for sure. Overall the book is actually a geopolitical mystery about Soviet influence in Indian PSU Industries and the societal impact of the same. The book is called The Residue of Progress by Arnab Mondal. If you could get your hands on it, absolutely gorge on it. You will thank me later.
Five Little Indians by Michelle Good had me weeping.
‘A Prayer for Owen Meany’ should take care of that.
Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid got me. But I had also stayed up until 1:30 a.m. to finish it, so that might have helped

The Art of Racing in the Rain
When Breath Becomes Air, Paul Kalanithi. Author died before his book was published. It’s heartbreaking and very grounding simultaneously
Crossroads by Laurel Hightower
Harry Potter and The order of the Phoenix
Me before you by Jojo Moyens
Sarah’s key by Tatiana de Rosnay
Between Two Rivers by Dorit Rabinyan. An Israeli woman and Palestinian man meet and fall in love. It…well…you can imagine how well that works out. The characters are extremely vivid and the book was widely banned in the author’s native Israel.
