The underlying romantic strand of the book I found less successful. It wasn't that it was in any way bad; just a tad predictable. I don't want to ruin anything for you, so I won't say anything beyond this. Just don't expect any surprises and you'll be fine.
Suicide is perhaps the most difficult topic of all. Grief is a hard one, too. But that doesn't mean we should shy away from them. In fact, it means the opposite. With understanding, comes healing. ''I Was Here'' demonstrates a real depth of understanding of both. So it comes recommended by all of us here at Bookbag. We also have a review of [[I Have Lost My Way by Gayle Forman]].
Other great stories covering the immensely difficult topic of suicide include [[Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher]] and [[The Suicide Club by Rhys Thomas]].
