Due to the way i was raised, it’s really difficult for me to allow my body to physically cry. I desperately feel the need to cry, but it’s super difficult. Please recommend some books that brought you to sobbing tears!

Bit of a different take on it but I used to read Jaqueline Wilson books as a teenager. So I’ve started rereading them now and some of them are sad enough that I have a little cry. It also has child and teenage characters so it takes you back to a time when you were young and vulnerable. It’s been kind of healing in a way I definitely recommend.
However, they’re not all like that and they’re not all proper gut wrenching as they’re from a child’s/ teenager’s perspective, but I feel like as you’re reading them as an adult you see it from both the perspective of a child and an adult. The really sad ones that always make me cry are: bad girls, Vicki angel, the illustrated mum and my sister Jodie.

A Little Life makes me cry every time.
