Do you ever wake up from an unknown dream, crying into your pillow? No? Do you want to?... more>>

If you find yourself in need of a good cry, or you enjoy the feeling of a lump in your throat, or maybe you’re just a masochist. I don’t know. I don’t judge.

Anyways these are the crême de la crême of novels to make you cry, or just feel plain awful. Some of them have an uplifting tone at the end, but most of them... most of them just leave you despairing and inconsolable. It’s awful, and yet we keep coming back to it, hm?

Enjoy. Or don’t. Whatever you feel like doing, yeah? <<less

-pain

-BE or HE is fine but there must be obstacles in the middle...., angsty

-crematorium

-ML doesn't care about the MC from the start (or ML does care but doesn't know how to express it) but once MC is gone from their grasp (death/ coma/ near-death experience/ breakup?) they finally realize what they let slip from their fingertips. 

-or after all the disappointment and hurt, MC doesn't care anymore and it's the emotionally constipated ML's turn to chase.
