I'm sure there are more than what I've listed (I could only come up with six right now). These are books that broke my heart, but I decided to keep this list strictly to "sadness caused by relationships" in honor of Valentine's Day.
Till Death Do Us Part by Lurlene McDaniel: Am I the only one who read Lurlene growing up? All of her books broke my heart, but this one and its companion stayed with me. Don't Die My Love was really good too...this whole list could be Lurlene McDaniel...
The Fury (The Vampire Dairies #3) by L.J. Smith: Smith took a big chance with the ending of this book. She's lucky it worked out.
My Soul to Keep (Soul Screamers #3) by Rachel Vincent: I never take books back after reading them, but I guiltily admit to removing this from my shelf and doing just that because I was not happy with the ending. I'm okay with the series now (more than happy actually!!).
Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy: This book broke my heart, not a little, but A LOT. Does it still qualify? ;)
I read Lurlene McDaniel all of the time in elementary school. I always cried, that woman sure knows how to write a sad story!
ReplyDeletei haven't read any of these books except for bridge to terabithia, which is just so sad. and i've never read any lurlene mcdaniel books but i'll have to look her up now.
