Great writers can make you "suspend disbelief", to forget that the characters you're reading about are fictional creations, not real people.
Great writers can make you laugh out loud, weep, be angry, etc.
They can make you do these things IF you have an empathetic nature, one capable of feeling not only for others but with them, as well.

You are a sensitive reader who really gets involved with the characters. There's no shame in that. and it's not a crime either! Don't consider this "weird". A bit eccentric perhaps but look. The first Lord of the Rings movie made me cry! I was sobbing and not one of my friends could understand why. I tried telling them I could see the big picture you know? the battle royale between good and evil that was coming in the next two installments. That the characters had such a heavy task to undertake and it got me all stirred up! Books that made me feel that way? Yea, there have been a few. Mostly they were sad teen fiction stories about outcasts finding a friend, or the boy up for murder gets released, or the girl in Whale Rider sacrifices herself to the whale ancestors. Yea, I read a lot. It's not difficult to believe that other people are boo hooing about the fate of the characters in the books they are reading too, because if the author works it the right way the characters feel like real people & like friends!

It's not weird to cry over a book; often that is exactly what the author hopes for! Like crying during a movie... the director wants that to happen. Crying is cathartic, anyway.
If I were you I would start another good book as soon as you can. I don't know any of the books you mentioned, nor the author, but maybe you could try one a bit more light-hearted, yet still very much about people interacting, & about high school from a slightly different view, and with a lot of plain old great Irish storytelling:
"Teacher Man" by Frank McCourt.
Dry those tears now and keep on reading, 'tis one of the better pastimes...

It's not weird to cry after reading a really good book. It just shows that the author writes very well. They can show you the exact emotions of the characters and thats amazing.
I cried while reading the Twilight Series and the last 3 Harry Potter books.

it is merely stupid. Crying at books is unquestionably ordinary. I cried like an absolute toddler on the top of the Harry Potter sequence, interior the e book Bridge to Terabithia and sometime, probably many extra that i've got forgotten. And oddly, i haven't cried interior the flicks all and sundry cries in, like substantial. i became very practically bawling in that...with laughter...!! If the writing is powerful sufficient, and it is so overwhelming, then that's human nature to cry. even even with the shown fact that, I DO think of that starting to be an extremely poignant scene in a action picture is far less complicated than a e book.

No, it's definitely not weird, it just means you are sensitive, you feel compassion towards the characters in the book and you are in touch with your emotions. People might just give you strange looks when you are in a public place such as the bus and you are crying while reading a book.
I also cry whenever I read a tear-jerker. Recent one was a kid's book called "Bridge to Terabithia". It's very touching.

I've cried when finishing a book, also. I tend to stay "depressed" if I don't get something happy going on quickly. The movie, The Green Mile, made me actually cry as if someone I loved had died. My boyfriend brought it over to share with me, since he had just watched it the day before. We were on the couch and he was asleep before the end. That was our last date.

no actually that's a good thing because it means that the author created her world and drew you into her characters so well that you felt emotion for them. It's like crying at a movie that touches you... it means it was good! :)

I have cried reading books. Sometimes I identify with the character and have to release tears.

If I was an aouthor and I knew that someone cried after they read my book, I would be ecstatic! That means I sucked you into my world!
