I love how books can really make you think about things and help out things into perspective. They are so brave and I just loved it. Even the movie was good!

I’m so glad it helped you in your rough time. Hope you kicked cancers butt!! ❤️

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, I am not sure if A Walk to Remember is young adult fiction I think it depends on which Library you go to but that one, by Nicholas Sparks, had me crying most of the book.

@Dorian it is. I had to read it in high school English class.

Both of them were tear jerkers but Brian’s Song more so because it was true. I read it when it came out in 1972 and it has stuck with me.

@Marianne I read it about the same time and always remembered it 46 years later. WOW! The same with Love Story it was the first book I couldn’t put down.

Definitely a tear jerker and a YA is Paper butterflies. My daughter still talks about it and can still get emotional about it but she isn’t a tearful kind of girl!
