The newest heartwrenchingly powerful novel from the bestelling author
of IF I STAY.
When her best friend Meg drinks a bottle of industrial-strength cleaner
alone in a motel room, Cody is understandably shocked and devastated.
She and Meg shared everything--so how was there no warning? But when
Cody travels to Meg's college town to pack up the belongings left
behind, she discovers that there's a lot that Meg never told her. About
her old roommates, the sort of people Cody never would have met in her
dead-end small town in Washington. About Ben McAllister, the boy with a
guitar and a sneer, and some secrets of his own. And about an encrypted
computer file that Cody can't open--until she does, and suddenly
everything Cody thought she knew about her best friend's death gets
thrown into question.
I Was Here is Gayle Forman at her finest, a taut, emotional, and
ultimately redemptive story about redefining the meaning of family and
finding a way to move forward even in the face of unspeakable loss.
