The whole romance was just weird, I didn't think it was really necessary. I kind of wish Forman had taken a slightly different road with Ben. Overall though, I did like Cody and the ending definitely got to me. Ooh, a book from Meg's point of view would be completely brilliant. Gah, one can dream. I believe I Was Here is strictly a stand alone novel.<br /><br />--AmberAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523741214914719296.post-45370851768903488802015-01-28T13:12:19.857+00:002015-01-28T13:12:19.857+00:00I wasn't the biggest fan of this book because ...I wasn't the biggest fan of this book because I just couldn't understand the forced relationship or Cody's actions, but I agree they were both dealing with grief in their different ways. Glad to hear you enjoyed it Stacie!

I mean, I just never thought I would, you know? And it's not getting a lot of love but ha, I ate it up! Read it in one go. Planned to go to sleep, and that never happened. I don't want this as a duo. It's perfect as a standalone. It's perfect where it ended. I just hope she doesn't go further. Brilliant review, Stacie! x Jess @myreadingdresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05316896211583809615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523741214914719296.post-1948673087517873802015-01-27T03:41:46.325+00:002015-01-27T03:41:46.325+00:00I haven't read anything from Gayle Forman whic...I haven't read anything from Gayle Forman which is kind of sad because she's a huge author! I heard pretty good things about this one. It actually sounds like one that's going to agree with me, so yay :) I'm glad you thought the characters were pretty complex because with a book like this, they ought to be, right?<br /><br />great review!N o v a - Z a yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06071319586825957117noreply@blogger.com
