What book made you cry?

I just read A thousand splendid suns and cried. I do suggest you read it if you haven't before as it's heartbreaking.

Any of the Adrian Mole books, it made me cry with laughter because a lot of it was so relatable to my childhood! Never cried because a book was sad though... I don't really read sad books, in fact I don't really read books!

I literally thought I was the only one that exaggerated with the ending of the book. Luckily, I'm not alone :smile:

Malorie Blackman is the best person to trust when making books.
