Hey, I'm new to this group, I was wondering if any body had book recommendations of gut wrenching books? Like ones that will make me cry, and don't necessarily have to have a happy ending. Want to change perspective for a bit

My absolute favorite series and summer read is the Ravenhood Trilogy by Kate Stewart! Flock, Exodus, and The Finish Line! Followed up with One Last Rainy Day(from the Ravenhood Legacy series) will have you balling But as for a stand alone romance that will rip your heart out, The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros!
Happy reading/crying
Crown me yours & crown me dead - my god I bawled at in crown me dead towards the end. Also the last letter by Rebecca Yarros
Definitely the last letter by Rebecca yarrows, a little life, still beating, song of Achilles, a thousand boy kisses ugh sad books are the best
It's an indie suspense called 'Holy Phrog'. The first third is all about grief and homelessness and it really got to me https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

Hi everyone! I'm Richard, debut author of Eclipse: The Silence of Heaven — just released two weeks ago. If you love gut wrenching reads, this one might be for you. Set in 536 AD when the sun literally disappeared for 18 months, it's gothic horror about faith collapsing, vampires inheriting the darkness, and the cost of survival. Already getting Reedsy Must Read recognition.Grab a copy here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H975445K
