1. Half Lost by Sally Green
The closest a book has ever brought me to tears. It's hard to say why without giving away some humongous spoilers, but it's all downhill from the climax.

2. Heart Shaped Bruise by Tanya Byrne
(This has gone from one of your least talked about favourites, to one of your most talked about.)
Why do I feel like you're telling me to apologise?

3. Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
Poor Sam.
4. Unmarked by Kami Garcia
The sequel to Unbreakable sees everything get much darker, as the love triangle is shelved in favour of testing the bonds of The Legion.
Warning. This book will make you feel sorry for Jared.

5. The Gospel of Loki by Joanne Harris
Loki will make you laugh, see his side, and feel unbelievably sorry for him.
6. See How They Run by Ally Carter
What did Alexei ever do to deserve this? On the bright side, this book made me like him. Maybe not as the love interest, but liking him as a character is what counts, right?
(You keep telling yourself that.)
7. The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
Like all heart-wrenching stories, it's about a girl, a boy, and a flesh-eating water horse.
Wait.
8. The Masked City by Genevieve Cogman
KAI! NO! WHY?!?
...I mean, besides plot.
It's about twins torn apart by sibling rivalry, broken dreams, and struggling to define who you are.
10. A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
The most painful book on this list because it's quite feasible that different elements of this story have played out a thousand times in a thousand homes.
