"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
I loved every single book written by Gayle Forman, so I'm just waitnig, not very patiently for that matter, on this one. . .
I Was Here by Gayle FormanExpected publication: January 27th 2015 by Viking Juvenile
Book Depository | Amazon
Cody and Meg were inseparable.
Two peas in a pod.
Until . . . they weren’t anymore.
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, who broke Meg’s heart. 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.

What's your pick for this week? Leave me a link, and I'll be sure to stop by and check it out!
I want to read this one too! Even though I had some troubles with Just One Year I still love Gayle's writing. I truly hope you'll get to read it soon :)
ReplyDeleteHuh. I have yet to read a Forman book. Her brand of contemporary isn't really my thing, I think. Though I have not actually read one of her books, so I wouldn't know definitively. Hope you enjoy this one when you read it, Anatea!!
ReplyDeleteAlyssa @ The Eater of Books!
This sounds so mysterious. I really enjoyed her If I Stay duology so I'm definitely looking forward to read her new book!
ReplyDeleteI love Gayle Forman and her writing, I have read If I saty and Where she went, the others not yet. This sounds amazing so it definitely is on my tbr list. Great pick :)
ReplyDeleteHopefully, we'll like it. *fingers crossed*
ReplyDeleteYeah me too. I didn't enjoy Just One Year as much as I enjoyed other books, but had I known there was going to be Just One Night, I think I'd be able to enjoy that one more.
ReplyDeleteYeah me too! x
ReplyDeleteGlad you're looking forward to reading it Lea!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I kinda needed a long time to actually read one of her books, but when I did, I was amazed! Her writing is just so mesmerizing and emotional and powerful, you just can't help it but to like the book. I hope you do pick up one of her books! x
ReplyDeleteAgh! Sadly i haven't read anything by Gayle Forman yet though i've been meaning to for quite a while! I just can't really figure out which book i should start off with...
ReplyDeleteWell, if you like road trip books, you should definitely go with Just One Day! I loved that one. But also the movie If I Stay is coming out soon, so I'd read the book before watching the movie. But either way, you can't go wrong with Gayle. Hope this helps! x
ReplyDeleteI am excited for this one too!

I cannot WAIT for this book! I mean, I am going to ugly cry, right? I might as well just order a box of tissues to be shipped right along with the book. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited to try out one of Forman's books. I hope you enjoy this one!
ReplyDeleteMy WoW.
Yes definitely. Crying with a Gayle Forman book is inevitable!
ReplyDeleteI hope you like them when you get the chance to read them!
ReplyDeleteUGH! Love all of Gayle Forman's books! And there is NO WAY that I'm not picking this one up, and gulping it down!
