What books made you cry? Anywhere from one tear to full out sobbing.
Please, nothing that has been made into a movie within the last 5years. (i.e The Lovely Bones, My sister's Keeper).
Please, have it writen in first person and have the main charecter be a girl.
I know this is a lot to ask and very specific, but please help me out. Thanks!
- Dear Zoe: Phillip Beard
- White Oleander: Janet Fitch [a movie, but not recently in 5 years]
- Me and Emma: Elizabeth Flock
- The Rest of Her Life: Laura Moriarty
- Daughter's Keeper: Ayelet Waldman
- Amy and Isabelle: Elizabeth Strout
- Talk before Sleep: Elizabeth Berg
with that said, just know that there are always different books that make different people cry. what makes you cry, may not make the next person cry. but i hope i gave you some good ones. and im telling you, you can NEVER go wrong with sarah dessen. i own all of her books.. every single one. i adore hers.

cloudy_conscience answered Wednesday March 31 2010, 8:28 pm: Anything by Jodi Picoult are marvelous emotional novels, like The Pact(love story). You said nothing that has been made into a movie in the last 5 years, but Dear John is an amazing book, & supposibly different from the movie, which I heard sucked haven't seen it. Nicolas Sparks in general also tend to be a great author and has very emotional novels.
Tuesday's With Morrie & 5 People You Meet In Heaven(both by Mitch Albom) is a pretty good book, 19 Minutes(by Jodi Picoult)amazing about a school shooting, Go Ask Alice is great, Speak also amazing(by Laurie Halse Anderson), A Child Called It and the other books that follow it are so very very sad, P.S. I Love You is the greatest book in the univers and so uber sad, Lucky is by the same person who wrote Lovely Bones its pretty good.
Thats all I can think of right off the top of my head, but my mother is a highschool librarian and I am always reading so when I think of some more I will come back or you can email me for some more titles :)
Hope I Helped. bacardii_caddy@yahoo.com <-my email :) [ cloudy_conscience's advice column | Ask cloudy_conscience A Question ]
