Oh god Madonna in a Fur Coat absolutely wrecked me too. If you want that same soul-crushing beautiful devastation, try The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro – it’s this slow burn about a butler who realizes he’s wasted his entire life serving someone who didn’t deserve it, and the quiet regret just builds until you’re staring at the wall questioning everything
Also maybe look into The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly if you can handle more emotional destruction disguised as a fairy tale. That one had me ugly crying in public
