Books That Made You Cry (Reddit 2025) - Page 5

In February 2025, on the Reddit sub r/suggestmeabook someone posted a call for "What book has Made you cry? I'm looking for something to read. I don't usually read, but to encourage myself to do so, I need a good story that will make me shed a few tears. Any recommendations you can give me?"
And the sub provided. This is a list of the responses- deduped. The variety of opinions and recommendations is what makes this a great list.
I did not include books: where someone said "anything by" a specific author; an entire series; or an author was not given and I could not reasonably verify.
If I missed anything else, I apologize, I'm human and I make mistakes and things could have been added since I looked at the list.
I see many new books to add to my list! Enjoy!
