these are subjective but these are books i’ve cried over
girl at war
out of my mind
the lovely bones
clap when you land
the 57 bus

[୨୧Mir (Taylor’s Version)]

the fault and our stars by john green and if he had been with me by laura nowlin are my go to cry books😭

[LO ☻]

Everyone in this room will someday be dead is so so good. The author has a sad but poetic way of looking at life and you can really empathise with her.

Also tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow!!

the bell jar
solitaire
seven husbands of evelyn hugo
