I had been to every city they talked about so that helped it seem a little more real. IF there were a tag line it would probably say "The Decision was Mine Alone to Make." Que in intense music.ĭifferent and set in the Northwest. Well.I don't think I would make this into a movie. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? I thought it was pretty funny how Richard ended up being a pastors kid.

I think when Ben and Cody are are Stoner Richards Parents house. It was the best that could be hoped for given the circumstances. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) The material was very serious and heavy and certain bits were hard to get through because of the nature of the subject matter (suicide).

They do find a bit of resolution in the end which is good. It is pretty dark in places and the overall vibe tends to be hopeless.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? 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. 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. About Ben McAllister, the boy with a guitar and a sneer, and some secrets of his own. About her old roommates, the sort of people Cody never would have met in her dead-end small town in Washington. 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.

When her best friend Meg drinks a bottle of industrial-strength cleaner alone in a motel room, Cody is understandably shocked and devastated.
