Sad Romance Books That Make You Cry Novels & Stories

-RAINA'S POV- Tears. Only my heat made me cry. Other than that, I've never bawled like this. Well, there was that time at the hospital when I thought I would lose Valen because we were unfortunate soulmates, and right now that familiar despair dwelled like a house filled with rodents in my gut. Unwanted but hard to get rid of. Hyperventilate-crying, I sniveled miserably, wiping my face countless times with the back of my hand.

An hour later, I can feel hot tears streaming down my cheeks. I just read an upsetting story and it made me cry. Why would she leave him like that?

Without even saying goodbye! Is that what happened to Adam? He just left me hanging? I snorted while my tears occupy the spaces in my eyes. We aren’t lovers, why am I even relating myself into this? I heard the door creaked and it was my Zach.

You forget to interact with people and you forget to feel anything except the pain that you had kept in for so long. And then she came into my life.

A rush of excitement coursing through my veins reminded me that if the book reflected anything near my life, magic was within reach—I just needed to find the courage to grab it. The aftermath of Forbidden Desires wrapped around me like a thick fog, suffocating and disorienting. I had barely lifted my gaze from its pages when the final words struck me, like a hammer on glass, shattering my carefully built defenses. The love story between the characters was so beautifully woven, filled with fiery passion and heartbreaking separations, that their turmoil completely consumed me. A rush of tears streamed down my cheeks, catching me off guard, because I had never been someone to cry over fictional

My colleagues praised my dedication, not realizing it was born from desperation, not ambition. One evening, I stayed behind after class to finish some paperwork. The staffroom was quiet, the corridors dimly lit. As I typed, I suddenly felt tears sting my eyes. I hadn’t even realized I was crying. It was that quiet kind of weeping — the kind that escapes without permission. I quickly wiped my face, ashamed of my own vulnerability.

' I pursed my lips to refrain from crying. "Mia, I'm sorry if I'm hurting your feelings. I mistakenly believed that there was love between us when there was only infatuation. I thought we were in love because you were the only girl who caught my attention after Sofia. However, now that Sofia has returned, I realised we weren't in love because I still love her. Mia, I don't even want to hurt you; all I want is to be with her once again and finish the unfinished chapter of our love story. What should I do?"

Every hair on her arm stood as she beat back the panic welling in her breast. On the other hand, she had read novels in which the lady had enjoyed the pirate’s passionate kisses. The heroine in the book actually fell in love with the ruthless man. Isabelle rolled her eyes. It was beyond her knowledge how any woman could feel that way. Yet, Hawk had been attentive while she was being jolted atop his horse. It had seemed he almost cared about her discomfort when offering to have her lean against him.

I tried to calm her down but it was too late when she run away while her hands covering her mouth and her eyes are still raining. I saw the book cover of the book and it made me smile- I overreacted after reading that book, too. It was not the first time-a customer crying because of a book. And everytime it happens, it's always because the dearest author killed the one of the best fictional character that never existed in real life.

“Um ok, you really are amazing.” “I am, it’s part of the charm.” “Favourite author then?” “V.E. Schwab her fantasy writing is fucking out of this world amazing.” “Addie LaRue was spectacular.” “Yes it was, ok who’s your favourite author?” I ask then. “Colleen Hoover, she has me crying for days. Ugly Love had me staring at the wall at 3am. November 9 had me in tears and Verity I was just so fucking shocked by that book I didn’t know what to do.”

Why was nothing make sense? Was he the Villain, or was he something else? Why was the end felt incredibly... real? A romance novel, or a novel in general, would tend to give an unrealistic ending, right? But why did this ending feel extremely ironic? Harriet closed the book and hugged it as she lay on her bed.
