   These three books are quite short and quite sad, and can be read in a few hours. I think the most sad one is the second one, "You Broke the Promise", which is so sweet at the beginning and makes me breathless at the end. I cried all the time after reading it. It has been three or four days since I read it. I still want to cry every time I think about it. One of them was still missed before he died, and one said at the grave that he would never meet again in the next life. Remember to prepare tissues when you read the back part.
