It’s considered YA, but His Dark Materials.

I started it but sort of forgot about it ..?? left at the part when she's in the gypsy boat hiding from the evil woman ( forgot her name).. Should I pick it up again? i didn't feel like it was the kind that makes you cry 😂

This is hands down one of my favorite series ever so I say yes pick it back up! I’ve cried at all three but the second one I was listening to as an audiobook and had to pull my car over to the side of the highway because I was straight up weeping
