When her charismatic best friend, Meg, drinks a bottle of industrial-strength cleaner alone in a motel room, a piece of Cody dies, too. Meg was everything to her. How could Cody not know? Determined to find out what really happened, Cody begins a dangerous search to the shadowy fringes of Meg’s life where she discovers some unsettling truths about friendship, secrets, forgiveness, and love.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We’re drawn to young-adult author Gayle Forman (If I Stay) because there’s something so honest about her portrayals of teenage life. When 19-year-old Cody loses her best friend, Meg, she’s left grappling with vexing unknowns, crippling guilt, anger and heartbreak. What could have driven a vibrant, smart, loving young woman to take her own life? I Was Here is a book about depression and suicide, but it’s also a wholly relatable story about forgiveness, resilience and the gift of friendship.
