Disclaimer, read when I was far younger! 2.21.25
I picked up this book because I love both of these authors and they are both very good writers. So I had already, sadly, gotten this out from my library once before and didn't get the chance to read it. So I was determined to this time ;) And I did...and I loved it.
This is the kinda book that you fall into and forget your own life and get wrapped up in the character's life and become immersed in feeling their pain and happiness in the story. And at the end...in the middle...in the beginning, it all is very emotional. But I wouldn't have it any other way, the ending is perfect as is the way this entire book was written. All together, just amazing. So let me start at the beginning.
Ahem. This book tells the story of Caroline (don't sing Sweet Caroline cause she hates it) who comes from a broken family that just gets worse when her Grandmother gets very sick and passes away. This book is written in the extremely unique format of the two choices Caroline is given the night her grandmother dies. STAY or GO.
From then on the stay & go chapters go one after the other until the end. Telling the story from the POVs and story-lines of the Stay Caroline and the Go Caroline. Both are sweet and captivating and just beautiful. It's real and relatable. (which apparently isn't a word, but I'm using it)
At first I was a little confused when the authors switched into stay & go chapters but after a couple I got used to it and I loved it. I think this would make a great book club discussion because you can discuss so much. There's a lot that Caroline goes through, great characters, and so much more. I was calling which guy, picking my favorite and trying to decide which decision I liked better. In the end I liked Go, but for a while it was Stay. Anyway (pushing away my gushing) this was a great book. Caroline is someone that isn't perfect but you love her through it. Even if you might want to scream at her several times haha. Chris is the most adorable person ever, I'm in LOVE. I loved Teddy, Phillip, Natalie, Simone, Debra, Gram, and almost all of the characters :D
Overall, he characters and writing style are great...I adored them. The meaning that each reader will take away is specific for each and special. I really think that this is a great, deep book that is wonderful. I really enjoyed it :D But I would highly recommend this book because I really enjoyed it!! And when you get to the end...just hold out, it's perfect at the VERY END. ;)
