Ive noticed that happy and wholesome books make me cry more than “sad” books
I watched Little Women (2019) and theres this scene where their father came home from the war and spent christmas with them, then everyone was hugging each other, and laughing. That scene made me so happy that i teared up, actually i straight up just cried. And i wanted to feel that again. Soooo im wondering if there are books that are just like that?

Pride and Prejudice is like that toward the end. Jane Eyre affects a lot of people that way too.
Several of the Chronicles of Narnia could qualify.
You didn’t ask for movies, but Big and Raising Arizona come to mind.
A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers
A Half Built Garden by Ruthanna Emerys
The House on the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
There is a book called “Little Women” that is JUST like that.
Seriously though, if you liked the movie you’ll love the book. I think Anne of Green Gables has a similar feel.
Try Black Beauty
The House on the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door – both by TJ Klune
A Gentleman in Moscow
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon makes me laugh and cry in a very wholesome way.
