The book was 'Kitchen Table Wisdom'. The book documents several short notes on the author's experiences while dealing with the treatment of her patients suffering with cancer

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid made me emotional and cry several times. I enjoyed it a lot tho. It's about a 79-year-old Hollywood actress sitting down with a magazine reporter and explaining her different marriages to bring the truth to the public. She tells many heartbreaking, entertaining, emotional stories and reveals a long-held secret.

There us this book I read that I'm not sure about the title. It was a while ago and it was a high school love drama. It was romantic but still had an element of drama. It was magnificent. I'd like a recommendation for where I can describe a book and get it's title. Would really appreciate :D

A lot of books have made me cry before in the past but the last book that I remember crying about is The Burning God by R. F. Kuang. It was a very good book though and I definitely recommend the series or any other books by the author.

Starting with the classic "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Lee Harper, I've cried reading several books, other examples include "Mila 18" by Leon Uris, "Court Martial" by Sven Hassel and "Tower of Dawn" by Sarah J. Maas. The last few books that had me running tears are not published yet, so I can't talk about them.

To be honest I haven't read a book that'll make me cry. Maybe I haven't seen one yet.

I am a very emotional person so I cry easily..too easily. But I'll mention two books that wrecked me.
The fault in our stars by John green
I too had a love story by Ravinder Singh
I cry everytime I even think about those books. They were so wonderfully painful.

My go-to choice whenever I am in need of a good cathartic cry is The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller!
Read it for the sixth time this month.. Still it manages to tear me up :cry: :cry: :techie-studyinggray: :cry: :cry:

I've cried over many books, but Harry Potter books are not in the made-me-cry list.

I can totally relate. Miller's Circe has the same effect on me.
