Soul Crushing Books to Cry About for Years
Books that leave a lasting impression long after you’ve returned them to the shelf. Romance is not required to break your heart - this list also includes fantasy, fiction, and nonfiction compiled by my own heartbreak, friends, and social media recommendations to hurt your feelings. Happiness? Don’t know her, I need to call my therapist for a higher antidepressant dose. [Never take these away from me.]
If any of these novels or authors are problematic in any way please let me know.

War Torn & Emotionally Wrecked
many of us are privileged enough to read about war without ever having experienced it. these books give a glimpse of what it’s like to be shaped by a society that we only hope to never endure. my goal in reading these? increased sympathy for worlds beyond my own & appreciation for authors who honor the lives that they give voice to. keep tissues nearby & enjoy responsibly :)

Historical Fiction for the Humanity Seekers
I love a good historical fiction novel, and sometimes the ones based on a real event, person, or disaster really bring out those human emotions we deserve to simmer in for a bit. From heartache and heroism to life and loss, these novels take the reader on a journey and lead them through all sorts of emotions along the way. More novels will be added to this list as I read them, and I am always on the look out for more historical fiction recommendations.
