Heartbreaking, gut wrenching, moving. Gayle Forman has managed to create a masterpiece of a story with a topic that needs to be desperately talked about in young adult literature. I read this in one setting and was nearly bawling my eyes out by the end of it. Meg is dead. The cause, suicide. Her b...

“It doesn't seem like living to me, it seems like persevering, like it's the most I can hope for.” In the hands of a less skilled author this book would have been a simple clichéd NA romance with tropes to spare. But it’s Gayle Forman we are talking about, so it wasn’t. Barely. I wasn’t really ...

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. You can find this, and other reviews, on my blog.I have a confession. I had no idea what this book was about before agreeing to review it, all I knew was that Gayle Forman was doing great things, and that I hadn’t read any of her work ...

Ok, so I've read a couple of books lately that deal with some emotive issues - the absolutely mind blowing "All the Bright Places" and the pretty darn good "Unspeakable". So I thought "I Was Here" might further explore some important themes and give me another tug on the old heart strings. And it ki...
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
