In a romantic mood
There's a story you may have heard about...you know how it goes. Boy meets girl, flirtation, angst, frustration, dreams, unabashed hope for a future life together...and then...
This is just such a story. In fact, author Gayle Forman seems to trade in just such stories. Her books, wildly popular the instant they are published, seem to hold all of that magic of first meeting and falling in love coupled with such intense yearning that her readers are enthralled from page one. What makes her different from every other romance writer out there? Well, life always gets in the way. True life love stories are often more full of missed opportunities, misunderstandings, and happenstance than the average love story allows for. Forman writes these in beautifully leaving her readers wrapped up in the lives of the characters and aching for more.
Who is this Gayle Forman, you ask? Well, you may have seen or just heard about this fall's smash film hit If I Stay. This film, which follows through the memories of 18 year old Mia who is lying in a coma. Her family, having been killed in a tragic car accident, has left Mia in the limbo between life and death. Only she can choose to succumb to her injuries or fight for life. In flashbacks, Mia remembers both the loving relationship she had with her family and the loss that she now bears and the joy of her first love.
The book, If I Stay, captivated its readers equally leading to the sensational best-seller Where She Went. And to finish off the trilogy, last week the final book graced our bookshelves, I Was Here. This deeply moving serious of books has accomplished what Forman's Just One Day series did with even more grace and depth. She leads her readers deep into the heart of two people who have loved deeply and now find themselves wrapped up in the tragedy of life. Leaving both in a place where they have to choose to continue loving or to let go and hold onto what they once had. Heart-wrenching and beautiful.
