A Ring of Endless Light. I lost both my maternal grandparents and this book helped me grieve.

I still find all Judy Blume books very impressive!
I'll say "To Kill a Mockingbird"....gobsmacked me as an 8th grader and I wrote a very impassioned essay. Reading it now, it's still beautiful and great, but I think the same themes are portrayed with much more nuance in other works.
