As she sits at home trying to heal life just seems to get more hectic and stressful until Maribeth cracks. She packs her bags, scribbles a quick note to her husband and she's gone.Leave Me is a story about a busy mom who takes a time out from life to heal. Maribeth also uncovers more about who she is and her relationships as friend, mother and wife. Leave Me is a great read that is at times funny and emotional.
I was very surprised to find out that Gayle Forman is also the author of If I Stay and Where She Went. If I Stay was made into a movie in 2014. Both books are on my to read pile and have been quite popular at my school with the Grade 7 and 8's.
