I love books that are earth‑shattering, heart‑breaking, and emotionally devastating — the kind where I’m crying regularly whether it’s a good cry or an ugly one.
Some books and series I’ve loved that fit this vibe: • The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller • The Things We Cannot Say by Kelly Rimmer • A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman • The Powerless Trilogy by Lauren Roberts • Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas • Exodus (The Ravenhood #2) by Kate Stewart • Certain books in the Zodiac Academy universe by the Twisted Sisters • Pretty much anything by Rebecca Yarros • The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
Books that were recommended to me but didn’t quite meet the emotional devastation I’m looking for:
• Alchemised by SenLinYu • The Boys of Tommen series by Chloe Walsh • The Thousand Boy Kisses duet by Tillie Cole • If He Had Been With Me duet by Laura Nowlin • The Summer series by Jenny Han
If you know of any books that are beautiful, tragic, emotionally intense, or the kind that ruin your life a little (or a lot), please send them my way! I want something that will stay with me long after I finish it....more

I use Goodreads mainly to track my reading history and to keep all my thoughts in one place. I love writing thorough, honest reviews. My goal is to document what I read, reflect on why stories resonate (or don’t), and connect with other readers who enjoy thoughtful book discussions.
If you’re into detailed reviews, steady reading updates, and the occasional overanalysis of fictional characters, feel free to follow along!...more
