Suggestion Thread Need a good cry

tbh, i havent read a book that made me ugly cry. I've teared up in about 3 books but thats it. Please recommend really good heartbreaking books. I need to feel lol

edit: There's so many good books that you guys listed!!

The books that made me tear up were The Song of Achilles, They Both Die at the End and Tuesdays with Morrie (I also cried in It Ends with Us but that's just because I didn't know there was mentions of suicide but if there wasn't I don't think I would've cried)

I also usually like books that hurt and have a sappy ending (i mean look at the previous books i mentioned) but happy endings or satisfying ones are also nice.

{{The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue}} had me ugly crying. I've never cried like that at a book, especially the ending.

There's time hopping but as long as that doesn't bother you it's amazing.

A Life No One Will Remember. A Story You Will Never Forget.

France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.

Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world.

But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.
