When You Were Here by Daisy Whitney
5.0
This book was spectacular, and the blurb did not do it justice.
Danny was such an authentic character. He truly seemed like a teenage boy. In fact, everything about this book felt incredibly REAL. As I was reading, I thought, "This would make an awesome book," only to remember that I wasn't immersed in a real-life scenario, but reading a book already. The pages came to life.
If you consider the plot elements on their own, it sounds incredibly far-fetched. And yet Daisy Whitney managed to weave all the elements together to create a believable story.
I loved every moment. I burst into tears frequently. This will not be a book I forget soon.
