1.26.2018 - I'll Stay

I'll Stay

Thanks so much to NetGalley, Kensington Publishing, and Karen Day for the opportunity to read and review this book. 

The book is told from the perspective of Clare Michaels, one of a group of 4 sorority sisters in they early 1980s, including her best friend Lee.  They are on spring break in NC when they decide to make an ill-fated trip to Daytona.  Clare and Lee find themselves in a horrible situation and Lee changes the nature of their friendship.  Clare has always been the one to take care of everyone and when Lee sacrifices herself for Clare's sake, neither can get past it.  The book goes forward in various times in the future where this one episode continues to haunt them all.

This would be a great book club selection because there is a lot going on with these characters.  Relationships between friends and mothers play a key role as does forgiving ourselves and each other.
