As kids, we all ~mostly~ enjoyed reading books with a happily ever after ending.
But alas, there were some books that took our emotions and STEAMROLLED RIGHT ON OVER THEM.
Maybe after reading the The Bridge to Terabithia you pondered mortality for the very first time.
Or maybe the powerful message in The Giving Tree made you cherish the people in your life a little bit more.
Perhaps you couldn't get through I'll Love You Forever without bursting into hysterical sobs.
