Not reading a very happy book right now, unfortunately, but I'm reading a Swedish book series with the English title Don't ever wipe tears without gloves written by Jonas Gardell. It's about how AIDS impacted the gay scene in Stockholm. The characters are fictional but you know that what it's based on isn't, AIDS had a devastating impact in Sweden's gay community just as it did in so many other places. I'm on the last part, and it's been very hard to read, I've cried a lot while reading them. There's a TV show based on the books that I haven't seen yet, I imagine it's a difficult watch.
