I would have to say A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks is the saddest love story I've ever read. The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton was another (mostly about friendship).
However I will check out the stories you've mentioned.

I haven't read A Walk to Remember but will look for it; The Notebook, also by Nicholas Sparks, was a good read. You may have already seen Love Story as a movie, a well-acted sad movie, but I found the book better.TobiOrNotTobi wrote: ↑22 Mar 2018, 08:41I would have to say A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks is the saddest love story I've ever read.

You ever notice how many children's books are heartbreaking?

I have indeed found many children's books heartbreaking (guilty myself for writing children's stories with sad endings). Even though they may be heartbreaking, they're loveable stories where you can go back to the beginning acting as if nothing ever happened.AngieIs wrote: ↑22 Mar 2018, 23:03 Where the Red Fern Grows and Charlotte's Web both got banned in my house growing up. Too much blubbering on my part every time Little Anne gave up or Charlotte spun her last web; Bridge to Terabithia was problematic as well.

Wow, the Outsiders, yes! Gets my every time. When our class read that way back in the 7th grade, I refused to get over it. I will never understand why I felt the need to buy the VHS, two DVD editions, and buy my own book..... I guess I needed to feel the sadness at every angle.TobiOrNotTobi wrote: ↑22 Mar 2018, 08:41I would have to say A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks is the saddest love story I've ever read.

A Walk to Remember, too, makes my heart skip beats and break. I've read it once, but for some reason I can't pick it up again. Just like the movie.

I agree completely with all the other books mentioned here. I managed to sob my way through Field of Dreams and Breakfast at Tiffany's, even though both made laugh at some interesting points. I think that's always a wonderful mixture.

The story of their love makes me cry every time.
Plus the movie is equal cry worthy material plus the amazing scenes.
