    Reader note

    Some of these books feature protagonists who are already depressed at the beginning of their stories [almost crying]. Others involve protagonists experiencing things like immortality or humiliation before becoming depressed [almost crying]. The ones I recommended have some less-than-ideal endings for some characters, leaving a slight sense of regret. [Crying] There are no dual-protagonist stories! They're all romance or single-protagonist novels. [Smirking]
