I need depressing book recs!! Not like “oh no and then he died!” i mean the kind that make you mourn after the book is finished or that makes you appreciate every tiny good thing that happened. I want misery, sadness, and almost like failing to succeed or not being able to make a goal that so desperately wanted/needed to be met Books dont make me cry but maybe theres one out there that will and I have yet to find it.

• No romance or at least minimal
• Sad endings are great but happy endings work too
• it can be really big book or a novelette Thank youu any recs are much appreciated!!
