Not as heartbreaking, what else could be, but I consider Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow to be about 3 friends, not four, only 2/3 the size and only 3/5 the trauma.

Not as heartbreaking, but The Corrections and Crossroads (Franzen) both kind of emotionally wrecked me. A Little Life was on a whole other level of getting destroyed by a novel.

Not even close to as heartbreaking because a little life is unbeatable, but the bell jar made me cry a lot.

{{The House in the Cerulean Sea}} is a feels book, but not heartbreaking.
If you don’t cry from {{When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi}}, then get on some meds.

Needle In a Haystack, By Casey Jordan. Can find on Amazon
Based on a true story and real-life events, Needle in a Haystack will take you on a roller coaster ride of emotions filled with love, trials, and heartaches.
Growing up, Casey struggled to get a good night’s sleep most nights due to night terrors and sleepwalking episodes, which concerned her parents and had them searching for answers to help her. Not only that, but she also had encounters with deceased family pets, other spirits, and her guardian angel, which she discusses in this book. Being a highly intuitive and psychic child sometimes got Casey in trouble for things she didn’t do, for who believes a child who claims that something is about to happen before it does?
As an adult, she continued to have encounters with spirits, but now she was also dealing with a few demonic entities off and on as well, some of which occurred during sleep paralysis. Casey describes these experiences as utterly terrifying.
At age 16, almost 17 years old, Casey met Haven, a firefighter, and the two soon fell in love. They built a life together and had three amazing kids, 2 boys and a girl. Haven was a soft-spoken and kindhearted individual. He joked around all the time and made people laugh. He had a great sense of humor and loved to help those who needed it whenever he could. Sadly, he was also battling his own demons, suffering greatly from mental illness and addiction. Casey loved Haven and tried everything she could to help him, but sometimes, even love isn’t strong enough.
