Flowers for Algernon. An incredibly moving book that like all great books reads the reader. It's about a vulnerable man with learning difficulties who is given a high IQ and who then realises everything. It took me a long time to close the book once I reached the last page. Recommended and unforgettable.

All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. TWs in the book: suicide, abuse, bullying, death (maybe some more that I don't remember) I read it a month or so before it became a movie. ... I also read it when I was a little bit too young lol. Here's a good one sentence summary: A girl (Violet Markey) learns to live from a boy who intends to die (Theodore Finch).
*!Some potential spoilers below!*
Theodore is obsessed with death and is constantly trying to find the best way to kill himself but something always stops him. Violet and Finch meet on an out of bounds school ledge, six stories high, both contemplating suicide. Violet is suicidal from survivor's remorse, when her sister was killed in a car accident. They become each other's reason to live. It's a sweet book, but made me bawl my eyes out in the middle of a class lol. It's similar to John Green's "The Fault in our Stars" which also made me cry

I haven't even finished it but I've sobbed all the way through: Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry. It's a memoir about his drug addiction and dang... I don't know how he is still able to live. I've been going back and rewatching Friends episodes, Studio 60, and some of his movies and remembering what he said about each one and wow... It's inspiring even if it's tragic.

I can think of 2 times I cried because of a book. The first was at the end of Remains of the Day, where Mr Steven fails to tell Miss Kenton that he loves her. I don’t know why that gets me.. I suppose it completely confirms all the regrets he has about his life. The second was in the Half Blood Prince, when Dumbledore died.

I know this is basic, but... Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I think that's the one I'm referencing, but the point is... I cried a lil when Dumbledore died. The way JKR wrote it, it was just so heartbreaking and moved me. I've read the series three times and the only time I cried was the third time around.

Those "A Dog's Life" books were absolutely brutal to read as a child. Especially when they got turned into a movie...even my mother was crying at the end, and I've literally watched this woman run straight into a wall, get up, and start laughing.
