I really enjoy sad book. The bawling my eyes out kind of sad. I like my endings sad or bittersweet and am not the biggest fan of pure romances, at least not the JoJo Moyes kind of romance. What really gets to me is people saying their final goodbyes because they have to part from loved ones forever, for whatever reason. The book (and movie) that by far wrecked me the most was probably "A monster calls". People reflecting on their own oncoming death also makes the tears flow (e.g. When breath becomes air, The Sword of Kaigen). Or when the pet dies.
I believe I have read most of the books that typically get recommended when someone asks for a sad book (Me before you, Never let me go, Bridge to Terabithia, The Road, A Little life, My Sisters Keeper, The book thief, and quite some more), so maybe some lesser known books would be amazing!
