Books That Will 100% Make You Cry in Public
I am a total cry baby. I cry all the time. If there’s an ASPCA commercial, a really sweet movie, a military surprise homecoming, when the barista remembers my order on a really tough day—tears! But I don’t think it’s a bad thing. Sometimes a good cry really helps you release your emotions.
Here are a few titles that will give you that cathartic cry session, no matter where you are. You’ve been warned!
From the author of As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow (another novel that made me cry in public – this time on the subway), The Ocean Would Paint Me Blue tells the story of a Syrian American girl whose magical sketchbook helps her turn her grief into art. Zoulfa’s writing is stunningly gorgeous, capturing human emotion with such lyrical precision. Make sure you have a whole box of tissues at the ready for this one!
Ronni Davis had no business breaking our hearts like this in her DEBUT! But she did, and here we are, LOVING it. There’s the magical summer romance, first love, and epic heartbreak. And then just when you think you can move on—boom—that one person appears again. What do you do? What would you do? All questions you ask yourself, as you wipe your eyes, and read this passionate story.
