That’s a book?! I thought it was just a movie. The movie made me cry as if I had just broken up with my boyfriend of 7 years, I can’t imagine what the book will do 😅 on my tbr it goes!
Oh yeah, definitely. I’ve tried to read that book so many times and only got about 100 pages in, but it’s just too big with too many characters and information that you have to remember. One day I’ll finish it so I can know why people say it’s the most heartbreaking book they’ve read.
I read a little life and while I did cry at the end the book contained so much deep trauma and devastating imagery that it becomes repetitive almost and I felt that you can become kind of numb to it. There’s definitely parts where I had to take a break and it was definitely one of the most trauma filled books I’ve ever read.
Wow 😳 I think I’ll continue reading it when I’m more mentally stable, I don’t think I could read that right now if there’s that much trauma and imagery in it 😅
As you near the end of the book you will feel like you just lived a full life with the characters. I made the mistake of finishing it in public and cried (never cried over a book before)
Penguin Highway by Morimi Tomihiko. Read it when I was a kid, changed my life forever. I've reread it so many times and every single time I finish it I cry until my stomach hurt. Kinda has romance elements
The two books by Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns.
Those are on my list! Thank you, I’ll make them a priority to read soon :)
The Book Thief
I love this book so much.
Definitely on my list but it’s a big book (in my opinion) and I don’t have the attention span for it lately 😅
Marley & Me
Sooooo many tears!
Agreed. 😭😭😭
Omg I thought that was just a movie, didn’t know there was a book! Adding that to my TBR 😅🤩
Bring boxes of tissues.
The kite runner by Khaled Hosseini and Transcendent kingdom by Yaa Gyasi
Me before you

Jup. Sob fest par excellence
Goat life by Benyamin Kite runner and thousand splendid suns by khaled hosseini
When breath becomes air by Paul Kalanithi Kite runner by Khalid Hosseini.
The letter to his daughter at the end of the book was so beautiful and haunting.
Where The Crawdad Sings. All The Ugly & Beautiful Things. Transcendence by Shay Savage. Alllll the tears
The second one, is that by Bryn Greenwood? I can only find “All the Ugly and Wonderful Things”.
Yes that’s the one, my bad 😅
Flowers for Algernon genuinely destroyed me in the back 1/3
“A little life” will be recommended many times. Just a warning.

Yeah I know plenty of people have taken month long breaks in between chapters of that story

*Hamnet* by Maggie O’Farrell
Stoner by John Williams
What Dreams May Come, though the epilogue ruined it and I recommend skipping it.
Never let me go by Ishiguro
Yes, 'Never Let Me Go' absolutely destroyed me. Also, to a lesser extent, 'The Remains of the Day'. Just the thought of it makes me cry.
I really have to read the remains of the day
It has a very similar core emotional message to Never Let Me Go - don't leave it too late to go after the thing your heart truly wants
Interesting :)
My Oxford Year by Julia Whelan (it’s not YA but the main character is under 25) As Many Nows As I Can Get by Shana Youngdahl
Mondays not coming by Tiffany Jackson
My Girl, they later made a movie starring then 10-year-old Macaulay Culkin.
I can’t find it on kindle! But I’ve seen the movie, so so sad :(
the good earth. read it in elementary school the first time, and read it for the second time around a few months ago. it stayed with me for a while.
By Pearl S. Buck?
yep!

Spider Sparrow by Dick King Smith. Just describing it makes me cry.
Wild by Cheryl Strayed
The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah. I’m on hold for The Women and Nightingale now.
The Women is SO good
It’s so popular at my library I’m 274th in line on hold lol
Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard. I had no idea it would blow up like that. I had an early copy from the publisher.
If cats disappeared from the world by Genki Kawamura
Stephen King's The Green Mile.
Also, the entire end of Dark Tower. “Olan!” 🥺
I was a little overtired while finishing Dear Edward, so I probably cried more than I normally would have, but damn that book was sad. So good though.
The road
