I am adding this book to my to-be-read pile immediately
There are so many incredible novels out there that have made me cry like a baby, but one book has been crowned the saddest book of all time.
Like Graham in The Holiday, I’m a big weeper, but there are some books that have left me sobbing like there’s no tomorrow.
However, I’ve not yet read A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, and now I’m slightly nervous to.
The book has been included in the Kindle deals for November, and is currently on sale for just €2.27. You can buy it here.
Many fellow bookworms have been raving about the book for years, but it’s one I’ve never gotten around to reading.
Experts confirmed that A Little Life had a 90% chance of making readers cry.
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher and All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven share the tenth place spot with a 76% chance of eliciting tears.
It comes as no surprise to see All the Bright Places feature in the top 10. The Jennifer Niven novel is one of my all time favourite novels, but so unbelievably heartbreaking at the same time.
