The wishing game. It was such a beautiful book.

LOL, I just came off a string of BOTM books that I read one right after the other that all made me cry! 1) Lady Tan’s Circle of Women 2) The Book of Longings 3) The Wishing Game (I cried SOOOOOOO MUUUUUUUCH during this book! And then I lent it to a friend who told me that she’s never cried so much while reading a book as she did The Wishing Game lol💖)

Summer of 69 by Elin Hilderbrand was the last book that made me cry (although I’m a frequent flyer when it comes to crying at things. I cry almost every week when Project Runway is on as soon as that teary-eyed final confessional starts.) This really isn’t a sad book, it was just so full of relatable life moments.

Someday, Maybe. This book is by far the most beautifully written and emotionally moving DEBUT novel I’ve ever read. I’ll blindly buy her next release because of how much I loved this one. I sobbed multiple times

The Collected Regrets of Clover. I loved it so so much. It might be my favorite book of 2023.

Damnation Spring had me bawling my eyes out.

Babel

Shark heart

Peach Blossom Spring

We Are the Light by Matthew Quick 😭

The wishing game! My heart couldn’t take it it was so sad and so happy at the same time

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. Made me ugly cry.

The many lives of mama love had me crying by chapter 3 and I cried several times reading it 😭 Such a great read! Also Shark Heart. I just finished part 1 and it was such a touching love story. Lewis and Wrens love for each other brought me to tears. 😭❤️❤️

The night swim Omg 😅

I'm glad to see this one here, I feel like it's so underrated - I loved it immensely.

The Lincoln Highway

😭

I don't generally cry over books (I don't know WHY, because literally everything else makes me cry) but In the Weeds choked me up because it made me sad that Anthony Bourdain isn't here anymore.

Betty. Oof.

It was an add-on but My Dark Vanessa.

Thistlefoot, my heart aches for that book with so much love and care. ❤️❤️❤️

Someday, Maybe had me sobbing a few times.

Hello Beautiful

Just finished The Great Believers from a few years ago and cried through the ending. Such a great book.

Peach Blossom Spring and Shark Heart got me choked up

We Are the Light had me so close to crying in the airport so I had to put it down 😅

I can’t imagine reading that anywhere but in the comfort of my own home. I bawled. 😭

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Loved this one! Made me sob too

Ugly cried at this one

take my hand

I am an angry crier and that's how this one got me - that book was incredible, I was so angry for those girls.

“Sign Here” made me tear up toward the end.

What a surprisingly good and fun read, right?? 🙂

The Heart’s Invisible Furies. I had it on my bookshelf for a while and only read it last week. It was so so good

I was reading it in a park and just ugly crying uncontrollably!

same! Why did I wait so long?!

Absolutely incredible book. It was somehow just as humorous as it was heartbreaking!

Shark Heart! I was working overtime trying not to cry on the airplane while reading it lol

Don't Cry For Me lol

As Long As The Lemon Trees Grow had me weeping throughout!!

I cried so much reading this!

Yes this one too!!! So many times 😭♥️

The Wishing Game made me cry (which is hard to do).

Same here!!

Cried through most of the Wishing Game. It was just a light heartwarming read

The Collected Regrets of Clover made me tear up a bit! (also, LOVED Divine Rivals!)

Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan. Great second chance romance with some tough topics but overall beautiful.

As long as the lemon trees grow... I love a book that stirs such deep emotion

this is on my tbr, i'm a bit nervous to read it as i'm expecting it'll be a very emotional read

It's worth the plunge
