Addicted to YA discussion

I love a sad ending :) Am I the only one who does?

I like both. Can't decide which i like more lol

As much as I love happy endings, I have to admit, sad endings definitely have a stronger impression on me, even if it destroys my heart 💔

Happy endings. :-)

I'm the same, I remember all the books with sad endings far more vividly and I keep thinking about them for ages afterwards.

i feel like sad endings are much less predictable, so i like them better in that aspect, but happy endings all the way. sad endings would just make me cry like every day lol

i like the both sad and happy ending type of books, idk if it's weird or not but it's king of refreshing

sad endings because they have the most impact to me and leave me bawling and comtemplating life choices for the the rest of my existence

Gotta love bittersweet endings.

Sad endings in the first few books of the series and then a happy ending at the end of the series.

I like both however I'm often rooting for the "bad guy" in books. so it depends on how ya approach it from that point of view :P

bittersweet or happy endings

I can’t choose! I mean happy endings are great because (usually) everything ends up okay, But sad endings seem like they stick with us more, like sad endings seem more memorable. And even though sad endings can hurt (A lot!) they still seem to be the best and most influential

I absolutely agree. Even if they can be harsher and harder to read they always leave a lasting impression if done correctly. Sad endings can still have very beautiful writing and important messages to bring attention to. So I prefer sad endings.

It depends on the book/series and how it is done.

Sad endings, they make me feel much more emotions and sometimes I feel like some books that ended with happy endings should end with sad endings instead.

happy endings! sometimes sad endings but I prefer happily ever afters 🥲

I like both, but usually it depends on the book/series and what i feel abt it.

Sad endings, every time. I want to be emotionally destroyed.

definitely happy endings!

I definitely prefer happy, I think that the characters also deserve to be happy in the end.

happy, but some of my fav books have sad ending so ig both but preference of happy

happy always

sad ending

I love happy vibes throughout the book, but then dramatic ending

I prefer happy endings ☺️💗

It depends on what the ending is about for me. I prefer a mixture of both. Happy and sad endings. Or both in one ending haha!

reading? Happy ending always
writing? I'm sorry but I love making my character suffer lmao

scared to read books with sad endings, but definitely sad or bittersweet endings, they leave a far greater impression

I don't really care tbh although sad or bittersweet endings reminds me more of real life.

Sad endings. Especially when both characters die at the end, or only one of them does. (They Both Die at the End-The First to Die at the End) Cause I'm a depressed rat 🫶🏻

Bittersweet endings for sure. Or a happy/neutral ending after a sad or intense plot twist. Just happy endings or happy books overall aren't really my cup of tea.

100% Happy - I can't cope with sad!

i guess it depends on the book for me

Sad probably stays with me longer but fairly unsatisfying. Prefer happy!

lol that's funny

It definitely depends on the book but generally I prefer a happy ending!

Happy endings definitely!!!!!

I read All the Bright Places in December last year, and I loved it ssm, but I HATED the ending because it was so sad =((

I tend to gravitate towards books with a happy ending. I think there are times when a bittersweet or sad ending is required. For instance, I think the rewritten ending for Great Expectations was "too happy." I prefer the original Dickens had written.

I think it depends on the state of mind that I am in at the time. I like both, but sometimes I need a happy ending because of whatever is going on with me.

I love happy endings as much as the next person, but sometimes when reading I wonder "what if everyone just d1ed and they didn't achieve anything? :)"

Happy endings, FOR GOD"S SAKE. Who thought sad endings would be a good idea except to teach ppl morals?

I really think it depends. sometimes I go into a more sad book for the real feelings, and I'll get a sad ending or even an unexpected happy ending, but I really like both sometimes, depending, so idk! it's really all up to preference in book for me too. Sometimes there's books I like the sad/happy ending, and some that I may not.

Really tricky to decide if writing. Some tension is needed so how can there always be a happy ending. Nowadays there seems to be many more happy endings as if expected. For me depends on the situation and characters and how realistic it might be. I don't want my emotions too shattered.
