A review by heykellyjensen
Stay by Deb Caletti

3.0

A quiet, deliberate story of relationship abuse. It's a little difficult to get into because of the alternating past/present chapters (which, at least in the arc, aren't denoted). I thought Clara's relationship with her father was fantastic, though. One of the better family dynamics I've read in a while. My big issue with the book is that I didn't quite buy enough of Clara and Christian's relationship -- perhaps because of the set up of the story -- and I really think that this book appeals much more to adults than teens. That's not to say there aren't teens that will love this, because there certainly are, but I feel like Caletti's work would do so well on the adult market.
