In this #unabridgedshort episode, we recommend books that made us cry--we're talking ugly tears!--but are worth the sorrow that accompanies them. These are favorite books that made us feel all the things. Want a cathartic experience? Pick up one of these brilliantly evocative novels.
We also invite you to share some of your favorite tear jerkers. What books have made you cry but been worth it? Let us know @unabridgedpod!
