Books that make you cry

[channelthirtytwo]

Finished One last Summer at hideaway Bay in floods of tears and its left me wanting to read more emotional books. What are your top tips for tearjerkers please?

The Time Traveller's Wife made me cry loads!

[nibblingfingernails]

Me before you made me howl - have never cried at a book before.

the Timekeeper

A Little Life. The most heart wrenching thing I have read, I spent an entire Sunday in bed sobbing. Be warned though, it is utterly harrowing and unrelenting and I know a lot of people didn't like it. It stayed with me for weeks afterwards, I couldn't pick up another book.

The Fault In Our Stars, but frankly it made me cry too much. Also I cried for most of the last book of His Dark Materials.

Just finished A Little Life yesterday Mupflup - harrowing and unrelenting is spot on, but isn't it brilliant? I've never been so utterly drawn in and absorbed by characters. It's a similar feel to the Donna Tartt novels but SO much easier to read, I found. I was devastated by the end and now feel bereft. Keep thinking about it.

Other books that made me weep:
The Light between Oceans
My Sister's Keeper - the movie was rubbish but I defy anyone who's ever had a child in hospital to read this and remain dry-eyed
A Dog's Purpose
And agree with Me Before You and Birdsong, though they are poles apart in literary weight!

Randomly, Bag of bones by Stephen King if you fancy something a bit different

[UnaPalomaBlanca]

Last act of love- Cathy Rentzenbrink. Not fiction.

[CherriesInTheSnow]

All the Light We Cannot See broke something in me :/

[MadMags]

The Great Gatsby
Me Before You
The Fault In Our Stars
The Pact
Harry Potter from book 3 onwards!
PS I Love You
Little Women
The Little Princess

God...loads more! I'm a cryer!

Oh Little Women 💦Floods
I know it's a children's book , but..
the butterfly lion by Michael Morpurgo

Gone with the wind

[TriskelArts]

AL Kennedy, So I Am Glad.

[Greenteandchives]

Interestingly I have All the Light We Cannot See and The Light Between Oceans stacked up to read, sourced from charity shops. Looks like I had better choose the right time to read these.

[RinonaWyder]

Marley and Me. I've sworn to never read it again as I was in such a mess!

[Artistic]

The thornbirds. Heart breaker..

[theredjellybean]

Little women

Also 'I don't know how she does it' by Alison Pearson... Cus the protagonist reminded myself so much of me, and I realised how awful life was making me feel... I still cry thinking about that realisation

[hollyisalovelyname]

Gone With The Wind
The Lovely Bones

[WhosTakingDeHorseToFrance]

A Little Life
Utterly brilliant, heartbreaking.
