Life Lessons from Gayle Forman..

Penguin Teen recently posted a round-up of 6 life lessons You Learned From Gayle Forman Novels. They took quotes from 6 of Gayle’s books and shared what they meant to them. With this in mind they are asking bloggers to do the same. I have read all of Gayle’s books but I always go back to that one book. It isn’t necessarily my favorite, I think the sequel is, but I still go back to it because it was my introduction to Gayle and it will always be special. My quote…it’s from If I Stay. Why do I love this […]

Book Love: Perfect Holiday Boo..

It’s that time of year. The first day of winter is upon us (today actually) and that usually means ones thing, especially here in Massachusetts, reading inside with tea/coffee.hot chocolate while the snow falls outside. Although I’m hoping this year is nothing like last year…I’m looking at you 100+ inches of snow within like a month…I do like my reading time. And if you are like me you love a good winter romance to snuggle up with and that is exactly what I’m telling you about today. I read this book last year and it just made me smile. It […]

Review: I Was Here – Gay..

To be honest, it’s rare that I meet a Gayle Forman book that I don’t love. If I Stay? Loved it. Where She went? Broke me. Just One Day? Amazing. Just One Year? A different kind of love. So I had very very high hopes for I Was Here. And I admit I was a little nervous since it is Forman’s first standalone since her debut which I thought was just okay. But after reading I Was Here I was put at ease. The book was excellent and quintessentially Gayle Forman. I Was Here is about Cody and Meg, inseparable […]

Review: My True Love Gave to M..

Rating an anthology is hard. That was my first thought when I finished reading all the stories. I mean I really loved some, hated a couple and thought a few were just okay. All together it was a great gathering of different holiday stories, but some hit the mark more than others. So in the long run I thought it would be best for me to rate each individually and then average those stars together at the end. Each review is brief as to not give anything away, but more my initial thoughts on the story. Midnights by Rainbow Rowell […]

Review: Where She Went –..

I first fell in love with Mia and Adam’s stories when I read both If I Stay and Where She Went back in April of 2011. It was my first experience with Gayle Forman’s writing and I was head over heels for it. She wrote a heartbreaking story that made me feel sad and uplifted and broken and emotionally drained and hopeful all in the span of two books. She hit on all the right spots and I just fell in love. And then I saw the If I Stay movie and all of those emotions came back. I left […]
