About this listen
Ever wondered why you pick a book that makes you ugly-cry… and then recommend it to all of your friends? On this episode of Book Bits & Chill, we dig into the brain science of sad books, explore why we keep going back for more, and share the titles that wrecked us (in the best way).
What you'll hear:
- Fiction as therapy: how sad books become safe space
- The empathy magic: why tearing up makes us kinder
- Our 2025 tear-jerker list + why each hit
- Sad Girl Confessionals: standing in the rain, mixtapes, public sobbing
Featured: The Nightingale, Martyr, Atmosphere, Go as a River, The Last Letter + the tear-jerker film Beautiful Boy.
👉 Tap ★★★★★, follow the show, and drop your book that made you cry in the Q&A. New chats every week!
