I'm craving a specific story.

Base:
-The book is about a character suffering the death of a best friend, or romantic love
Options:
-The reader could have been introduced to the romantic love or the friend prior to this
-The book could have attempted to make the reader attached to the person who eventually dies
-The story begins after the friend/loved one dies

It doesn't need lovely grammar, or advanced words. It doesn't need to be a book that was made before 1900. I enjoyed "P.S. I Love You", and "Apologize, Apologize!".

Do you have any recommendations?

Doesn't involve death - but The Solitude of Prime Numbers is sort of bleak depressing...

A prime number is a lonely thing. It can only be divided by itself or by one, and it never truly fits with another. Alice and Mattia are both "primes"-misfits haunted by early tragedies. When the two meet as teenagers, they recognize in each other a kindred, damaged spirit. Years later, a chance encounter reunites them and forces a lifetime of concealed emotion to the surface. But can two prime numbers ever find a way to be together? A brilliantly conceived and elegantly written debut novel, The Solitude of Prime Numbers is a stunning meditation on loneliness, love, and what it means to be human.

Oryx and Crake by Margret Atwood. It's a post apocalytpic/dystopian world type book, but the charecter spends most of his time mourning after his dead love. Not sure if it's what you're looking for, but I thought I should mention it.

I can't believe this thread is still up. I made it like 13 hours ago.
Thanks for all of the book ideas.
