I was asked earlier for a recommendation of a book that would make someone cry.  Like any time I’m asked for an opinion on books, I couldn’t possibly choose just one!  Without further ado, here are my Top 10 CRY books.

 

  1. Hopeless and Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover

This story is Colleen Hoover at her absolute heartbreaking best. I’m team Holder for life. There is nothing about these two books that I don’t like. Holder and Sky are always #1 on my favorite books of all-time list. Always.

  1. Façade by Nyrae Dawn

Adrian Westfall will always be one of my top book boyfriends. This story broke my heart. The first book in the series, Charade, (about a different couple) made me cry like a baby too.

  1. Archer’s Voice by Mia Sheridan

Archer Hale is a character that will crawl beneath your skin and set up residence. I was so enthralled by this book and these characters.  Archer Hale is an amazing character.

  1. Desperately Seeking Epic by BN Toler

I can barely think of this book without crying. Do *not* attempt to read without tissues.

  1. When it Rains by Lisa DeJong  

No joke I am pretty certain this book left a hole in my soul. I cried so hard I thought I was going to lose my marbles.

  1. The Summer Remains by Seth King  

I loved this book so much, even though it ripped me in two. Summer Johnson is a character you won’t forget.

  1. Swear on this Life by Renee Carlino

This is one of my top reads of 2017 so far. I absolutely adored the story and the way it all played out.  The characters, the settings, the experiences- I felt every one of them.

  1. The Sweet Gum Tree by Katherine Allred

This book sank its hooks into me from the beginning and didn’t let up. I was absolutely done in by the end, just completely overloaded with emotion.  It was absolutely wonderful.

  1. My Skylar by Penelope Ward

Mitch & Skylar’s story is one that will stay with you long after the end. This was my first Penelope book and I immediately knew I’d be adding her to my automatic buy list.

  1. It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover

That’s right, she’s on my list twice. What you need to ask yourself is what kind of a person writes books they know will make a bitch cry? Hoover. That’s who. I wonder if she sits over her keyboard evil laughing about the tissues people are going to go through while reading her books. They’re all great, 90% have made me cry…. But then came It Ends With Us. My #1 read of 2016, this book DESTROYED me. After I read it I couldn’t get into anything else for over a month. Never have I read a book that made me question so many things. The final paragraph of the last chapter made me cry so hard I thought I’d never stop.

So that’s me. How about you? What are your ugly cry books?
