Review of 'I Was Here' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
3.5 stars
Gayle Forman's books are never bad but that just isn't enough for me. Her main ideas are always amazing and have a lot of potential to be emotional. Do not get me wrong, they are, but just never enough. There's always this spark missing, always a little something in the plot that puts me off.. Maybe if her books were just a little bit longer I would get more invested in her stories. Whatever the reason is, I guess I will not read her upcoming novels.
But to end this on a good note: I adore her portrayal of family dynamics, especially the little brothers. Whenever these characters come up I get teary eyed not wanting them to feel any harm.
