Sorry if this get you in your feels …

Just like many of you, I love to read. I enjoy getting swept up into another world for an hour or two, and escape whatever real life throws at me.

While books offer a lot of comfort, I’m sure we’ve all had that one book that emotionally ruined us. So, I want you to tell me the book that did that for you, and don’t spare any detail!

Like me, maybeMe Before Youby Jojo Moyes broke your heart into tiny little pieces…

Perhaps all you wanted to do was lie in a dark room after finishingA Little Lifeby Hanya Yanagihara…

WasThe Color Purpleby Alice Walker on your mind for weeks after putting it down?

Or maybeAtonementby Ian McEwan is one that you’ll never forget…
