I Was Here is a good book with an important message about picking up the pieces after a loved one commits suicide. It is raw. It is visceral. And it is almost ruined by the trope-eriffic, cliché-ridden romance. Why, Gayle? Why?! This was ever-so-much more annoying than that sneaking into the ICU sce...
I was Here is written by Gayle Forman. I have actually never read any of her work in the past but after reading this book I definitely plan to read more of her work in the future. The type of story written about Cody and Meg is something I am familiar with. I struggled to actually start reading t...
3.5Throughout this whole book, I wavered between giving it 3 and 4 stars.It ultimately missed the four-star mark because I thought the romance was kind of gross and creepy, and it felt somewhat extraneous and obligatory in a book that draws its strength from its examination of friendship.It's also a...
I had high expectations for this book after If I Stay and Where She Went, and I wasn’t disappointed. I Was Here definitely won’t be for everyone, but parts of it resonated with me in a way I didn’t expect. There’s a lot going on in this book, both up front and beneath the surface – about secrets, fa...
Goodreads Synopsis: When her best friend Meg drinks a bottle of industrial-strength cleaner alone in a motel room, Cody is understandably shocked and devastated.

The best thing about this book is how well it portrays working class people in small towns. There are lots of other great things about it, the characters, the music scene, college life, but nothing sold me like the reality of having to luck into bus times. And the kittens.Library copy
This was enjoyable, though a bit rough to read. It was hard to learn, with Cody, that there was so much her best friend had been keeping from her, quite a bit of which is not fully explained until the very end. For reference, I totally saw early on not only that Meg [spoiler] was suffering from ...
I gave this book five stars. This book followed a character named cody trying to find answers about her best friend death. The book was cool to me because when meg died in many ways cody died too. It was like cody was not only finding her self in the book, she had to find out who she could be withou...
Initial reaction: This was a very realistic, while flawed look into one young woman's grief over her best friend's suicide. I liked the attention brought to her grief as well as journeys to understand it, even if some of those steps were rough around the edges and tested my suspension of disbelief.F...
