  • Books that make you cry at 3am

    The title says it all. I'm looking for books that will make me cry at 3am.

    My job leaves little time for reading usually, especially until the morning hours which is my favorite time to read.

    During the few days off I have during Christmas I wanna really go through it in the fictional worlds. For this specific goal, romance is the way to go for me. Second chance is great. The ex-vows and Love and Other Words did the trick.

    What other books can you recommend? (Non-romance or non-second chance is amazing too, I just wanna cry) 🫶🏼🎄✨️

    I really enjoyed this as I went, but reflecting on it there are some aspects that bothered me. There were too many characters, which lead to them not being fleshed out. I had no idea who was who, which is kinda important in a closed-door mystery like this. I also didn't feel like the case was solvable for the reader, given what we know in the end. I did really like Roz's personal storyline and I thought Heather and baby's health concerns humanized Roz. That was a great addition.

    Over all: great experience, but once you think about it there are some important aspects lacking.

    This was absolutely delightful. It had everything: cats, coziness, romance, the Lake District and Christmas. I went into it like just another quick Christmassy read but was hooked immediately. Absolutely recommend!
