I Was Here


This book is on one of my "Must Read YA books of 2015" lists I found on Pinterest. I now trust that list. This book was fantastic. It's about a college student, Meg, who commits suicide and the aftermath of who is left. Her best friend, Cody, is devastated and spends the book trying to cope and figure out why she didn't know Meg was struggling.

The characters are complex and multi-dimensional (although it is a YA, so they are a little archetypal). I like that the book raises mental heath and suicide as an issue for young people and I highly recommend this book. It is, however, not for kids.
