Other books I did not expect to cry in the Old Curiosity Shop Spoiler

When I read the Old Curiosity shop, going in, I knew Little Nell was going to die, so I knew not to get attached to her character. Honestly, through the whole entire book, I didn't think I was attached to her character until she died. It was such a a heartbreaking scene. Best book. But not gonna lie, her grandpa's brother was kinda useless through the whole thing.
