Ugly Cry Books

[Unknown]

What book made you ugly cry the most?

[Unknown]

The Fault in our Stars crushed me for a really long time. It is one of the only books I've read in one sitting. I couldn't prolong the emotional pain I was experiencing while reading it. I started crying on page 10 and it went downhill from there. I also won't recommend this book to anybody because I can't be the cause of that pain on anybody else.

My Sister's Keeper I was completely unprepared for the ending. I was in a funk for a few days after reading the book.

Me Before You. I cried so many tears. I also refuse to see the movie because I don't want to be sobbing uncontrollably in public.

For me, it's books about dogs that undo me more than anything else. Marley and Me had me in tears, and You Had Me at Woof caused me to sob in public. I can't bring myself to finish The Art of Racing in the Rain, although I've been assured it's worth it

If I Stay by Gayle Forman made me ugly cry. My mom had recently been in a medically induced coma so the story hit super close to home.

The Art of Racing in the Rain. I should not have read that while I was pregnant and in the process of having to re-home our rescue dog.

Confession: I didn't cry during either TFIOS or Me Before You.

I refuse to read either of these. Someone bought me The Art of Racing in the Rain for Christmas and I returned it to B&N. Then someone else bought it for me for a gift exchange. People keep getting it for me because they know I love dogs. THEN WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?

The book that made me ugly cry the most was Hate List by Jennifer Brown. It's about a school shooting. I'm a teacher. Could. Not. Handle. 

I actively hated Me Before You and didn't cry so much as throw it across the room when I was done.

Clockwork Princess broke me. For a solid year after finishing the book I would get teary just thinking about it.

Cassandra Clare. It's the last infernal devices book. ( I know, I know, she is not liked by many.)

LOL. I did see that, but didn't think that was the book you were talking about. I did read the Mortal Instruments series, and thought it was decent, but not anything past that, do you recommend then?

I loved them. I thought they were way better than The Mortal Instruments. Both plot and writing. But then again I'm not a huge fan or Jace or Clary and barely got through the last few Mortal instrument books.

I agree, I was very over the story by the end. I'll have to check them out. Thanks for the rec

The Book Thief, Afterwards by Rosamund Lupton and A Little Life all made me ugly cry.

The book that I read that made me ugly cry recently was All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. I don't think I've ever cried so hard from reading something. It touches a personal note with me because there is a mental illness storyline, but wow, such a powerful story.

I came close to crying when I read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. Such a brilliant science fiction book.

It was such a beautiful book. Even though I knew it was coming, I just kept hoping against hope that it wouldn't end like that. I really appreciated how the author treated mental illness, and also to a lesser extent, survivor's guilt.

Yes exactly! You had to keep reading to see if it was going to be as awful as you were imagining. I think she did a phenomenal job with mental illness and surrounding topics (survivors guilt is one as you said).
