Book to make me cry..

So, this is going to sound a bit mental but I'm 26 weeks pregnant.. hormonal and recently just always feel a need to cry! I'm not unhappy, just hormonal and need something to let it out to!

Which books do you recommend for this? Last book I read was The Choice by Edith Edgar and that really broke my heart💔

The kind of thing I'm looking for is something possibly war themed? I love history. But mainly something not too far fetched. Thankyou:)

Not war related but The Shock of the Fall by Nathan Filer made me cry more than any other book I’ve ever read

Yaloms most recent book called
A matter of death and life.
It’s just beautiful

I came on to say ‘The Choice’! God, I bawled like a baby, couldn’t speak after reading it.
Have you watched umbrella academy on Netflix? One part in that literally makes me sob and I've just watched it again like an idiot😭
