I just read Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano and it definitely tugged at the heartstrings.

I have cried at every Fredrik Backman book I have read. I have also laughed at every Fredrik Backman book I have read.

From what I remember, the only book to ever make me cry is How High We Go In the Dark by Sequoia Nagamatsu. Though I wanted to keep reading, I had to stop, cry, and process what I was feeling.
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, The Road by Cormac McCarthy, and One Second After by William Forstchen all had moments that certainly made me feel hopeless, but didn’t quite push me to that point.

‘Suite Française’ by Irène Némirovsky. What made me cry though, is finding out about what happened to the author before she had completed her work & the way her manuscript was eventually found. It’s unlike anything I’ve read before & I’m thinking about reading it a third time after I finish what I’m reading now. I’ve not read The Nightingale so I’m not sure how similar it is. Here’s a link to a review.

Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune. I was ugly crying for most of the second half. It hits especially hard in audio.
