Seven years have passed, and as far as Kym is
concerned, Ethan is happily dating her best friend Michelle. They haven’t seen
each other ever since the night Ethan asked her the question that haunted her
dreams as she left Northridge. Now, fate decides to bring them together,
bringing back bitter sweet memories as they visit the places that witnessed
their evolution from childhood friends, to awkward teens dealing with love,
peer pressure and growing up. As the day draws to an end, the question remains,
had Ethan already moved on or is he still waiting for Kym’s real answer to his
question?
My
Thoughts:
I was provided a copy of this book by the author in exchange of an honest review.

To be frank, this ebook was not meant for my taste
buds. I felt that Kym, the main character who narrates the story, was rather
flat – not solid. I didn’t get attached to her the way one does with great
protagonists. Ethan too, in my opinion, was not well-defined. And though this
isn’t entirely the author’s fault, the many typos and errors in the book really
irked me, and affected my rating of Please
Stay to an extent, even though I tried ignoring them.
What I really appreciated in the book is the constant
switch between the present, where Kym and Ethan are adults, and the past, where
Kym relives memories of her and Ethan in school. It brought great depth to the
story.
Additionally, the ending
was really unanticipated. And I loved it. It wasn’t a happy ending, which was
what I was expecting; on the contrary, it was heartbreaking, and for the first
time, I truly felt for Kym.Add it on Goodreads!
