Stay by Deb Caletti

4.0

I was nervous the whole time waiting for the climax I was sure was coming. When it did come, I'll admit to feeling a little like, really? That was what we worked toward? Yes it was dramatic and emotional and all but it didn't seem big enough to resolve the tension built through the rest of the story. Perhaps that was the point: the work that Clara does on her own to overcome her feelings after ending an unhealthy relationships (her bf was a clingy, insecure, creeper type). There's much to love in this one but for once I found myself wishing the book was longer so it could flesh out more of the stories of the supporting characters too.
