3/5 stars
And We
Stay tells the story of Emily Beam, a seventeen-year-old who is sent to a
boarding school, and follows Emily as she tries to overcome the event that sent
her there - her ex-boyfriend's suicide.
This was
a well written story and I liked that Emily's poems were included at the end of
each chapter.
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about Emily - there were times
when I liked her and times when I didn't.
I did
feel sorry for her though because of what she'd been through.
Overall
this was a good read that I enjoyed.
