Top Ten Books That Will Make You Cry

February 4, 2014 by Jaime Leave a Comment


Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the awesome and wonderful people over at The Broke and The Bookish

Jaime’s Picks
I am NOT a book cryer.  I mean… the joke is that I have a black soul and no heart, but in all honesty, it’s completely rare that I can’t compartmentalize my feelings and think to myself that this is just a book… it’s not real.  But there are times that I just can’t help it. And there are topics that are guaranteed to press my buttons and have me all emotional.

These are those books.
The Fault in Our StarsMe Before YouMaybe One Day
Me Before You by Jojo Moyes – holy crap this book gave me all the feels… not like sobby tears, but at the end I was definitely in need of a box of kleenex.  

The Fault In Our Stars by John Green – SOBBING UNCONTROLLABLY – you all know why. 

Maybe One Day by Melissa Kantor – For me, this book wasn’t about cancer, it’s about friendship and love and facing the unknown.  I loved it, even through the tears.

Erin’s Picks
So – Jaime says she doesn’t cry….I sometimes can’t help myself.  Now, that doesn’t mean I will cry at anything but when there is sadness sometimes I just can’t help it!
We Were LiarsIf He Had Been With MeMe Since You
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
If He Had Been With Me by Laura Nowlin
Me Since You by Laura Wiess
Cosmo’s Picks

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
This book is so romantic, so haunting and so sadly beautiful. It’s a love story that has stayed with me since I was young.  And if I’m being honest, it’s a heartbreaking love story that I measure others against.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
This is the first book I ever truly loved.  And Harper Lee told a story that remains socially and morally relevant today. I loved Scout’s voice. And I can still pick it up and read it, knowing that when I do, I will still be rendered a crying mess.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
Everything about Charlie is heartbreaking and beautiful. And I read every letter in this book as if it was written for me. This book made me remember what it was like to be that young and fragile. And then piece by piece, it revealed a total picture that still haunts me whenever I think about it.


The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson
I found that I was so submerged in Lennie’s grief. I was lost in it with her. And the moment that I realized that was actually the case was the exact moment I realized just how wonderful this book really was.

honorable mentions from Cosmo
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

I don’t know if I can explain all the reasons this book made me cry. I will just say: Finnick, Prim, and Peeta. Suzanne Collins created heroine who lived in a world where she (and everyone alongside her) was forced to make choices and do things that no child should ever have to do.


Good In Bed by Jennifer Weiner

This wasn’t a particularly “sad” book. It was just an emotional one for me. I don’t know why Cannie’s story resonated so much with me. It just did. Her trials felt like my trials. Her issues felt like mine as well. I loved it. And there was more than one moment when it brought me to tears.
