Super OT I Know, But: The Most Moving Book I've Read

I have to say that I'm a self confessed bookworm, I can happily spend hours reading but most books don't get to me like this.

Yesterday I read 'before I die' (by Jenny Downham) the story of the last months of a teenager called Tessa with leukaemia. This has gotta be the most a book has ever affected me, it made me cry for ages at the end.

Those of you in the UK may have heard of this book (I'm not sure about the US) but I have to say that it is a well written, and extremely moving piece of literature and that I would heartily recommend it. I know its a bit off the tradition book subjects that come up here but I just had to say something.
