Something to break me.

[Miranda]

Usually I am reading something spicy, but I am in a bit of an emotional state at the moment. Does anyone have a rec that will just break me. The last book that completely broke me was "if only he had been with me" by Laura Nowlin. I am waiting for the duet, but feb 6 is too long for me. I need something sooner than that...

[Saphine]

they both die at the end and the song of achillies

[Karsyn]

A Little Life (check TWs)
Reminders of Him if you're a CoHo fan, but I know not everyone is hahah
I've also heard that A Thousand Boy Kisses is pretty emotional, and You've Reached Sam, though I haven't read them yet myself

[jules ♡]

i loved girl in pieces and personally it made me sobb; check TW before though! (trigger warnings)

[fifi]

A thousand boy kisses
i just read it in December and i am in love with the author

[Amber]

The Story of Us by Lesley Jones will absolutely destroy you. It’s not a new book but it’s so good.

[Eilidh]

Another vote for Song of Achilles! I also recommend Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow to anyone and everyone. It’s a longer read, but we’ll worth it IMO ☺️.

[Miranda]

Thank you all!!

The Salt Path by: Raynor Winn
If you want a super emotionally devastating memoir this would be it. I started to read it and had to take a break because I couldn’t stop crying. I have made it a goal to revisit this book this year. The writing is super beautiful though, I highly recommend this book! :)

A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole. I cried so much (86 pages, not straight tho) that when I finished i couldnt even say the title for a good hour without crying

[luna ♡]

read:
-girl in pieces

on my tbr (but still known for being sad):
-the way i used to be
-all the bright places
-the fault in our stars

A Little Life will definitely ruin you… I’m about 3/4 through but so far … beautifully written, incredibly heart wrenching

[eli ★]

Trapped by Rosie Lewis. Honestly there's a TW for child abuse but it's so beautifully written and a true story. I cried my eyes out and had my heart ripped to shreds. Such a beautiful book.

[candycorn]

a little life by Hanya Yanagihara (there are a lot of triggers in this book so search them up) will rip your heart to pieces and right when you think it's gonna get better it rips it again

[Sarah]

archer's voice broke me. and seven days in june, I don't want to say that book was heartbreaking but it was more of the i finished the book, closed it, and then just sat in bed hugging the book to my chest and quietly cried

[juls]

A little life is a definition of a book that will completely destroy you

[BeautifulMe]

Just read anything by Khaled Hosseini his books are usually heart wrenching. You could also read a little life by Hanya Yanagihara and Adam Slivera's books.

“If He Had Been With Me” had me an emotional wreck! I listened to the audiobook in the car and was crying so bad lol.

June First by Jennifer Hartmann and The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah
I've just read both of them, and they wrecked me!

The year I didn’t eat. I read it in like 3 days and it was so good. I felt like crying after every chapter and it was such a good story. Some people may say the main character sucks but for me who has struggled w what the main character struggled with, I liked it a lot !!
