From the bestselling author of If I Stay - this summer's YA blockbuster film.
This characteristically powerful novel follows eighteen-year-old Cody Reynolds in the months following her best friend's shocking suicide.
As Cody numbly searches for answers as to why Meg took her own life, she begins a journey of self-discovery which takes her to a terrifying precipice, and forces her to question not only her relationship with the Meg she thought she knew, but her own understanding of life, love, death and forgiveness.
A phenomenally moving story, I Was Here explores the sadly all-too-familar issue of suicide and self-harm, addressing it in an authentic way with sensitivity and honesty
Amy is a keen children’s book nerd and spends a lot of time reading and reviewing picture books with her toddler, Fenrir. But it’s not all colourful pictures! Her passion is getting kids reading, and her life's mission is to get the right books in the right hands. Ask her for advice or recommend something to her and watch her eyes light up!
Gayle Forman, author of If I Stay, may be my new favourite author of emotional reads for ages fifteen and over. Dealing with her best friends suicide, Cody struggles to find answers both as to why her friend was so sad and how she didn't even know. I was on the edge of my seat as secrets unravelled and heartwrenching decisions were made. For fans of her other books, the movie and true to life, heart wrenching stories, this is a must read.
