I Was Here by Gayle Forman
5.0
I received this book as an ARC through working at Barnes and Noble a few weeks before it's release. I didn't know about GoodReads then, but I wish I had so I could have left this review sooner!
I absolutely loved this book. It felt like a very real story that I am sure a lot of people will be able to relate to. Unlike a lot of YA characters, these girls felt real from beginning to end. Cody really just wants to know why her best friend did what she did, and it takes a trip to her college to meet her new friends to understand the best friend she thought she knew so well. College happened, and it sucked for them.
It was a great, fast read. MUCH better than some of the other Gayle Forman that I have read.
