Stay by Deb Caletti
5.0

Jealousy can make people do crazy things. For Christian, he actually went crazy. You’ve heard of abusive boyfriends, and you’ve heard of possessive ones. To Christian, Clara was his and his alone. She couldn’t even joke around with his friends without him going insane. The way Caletti wrote this novel was every other chapter reflected Clara’s relationship with Christian and then the other half of the chapters was devoted to telling the present story of her life.

The one thing I really loved about this book was her relationship with her father and the fact that they were like best friends almost, and it reminded me of my relationship with my own father. This books felt real, a storyline that held no fantasy because there are people like that in the real world. It was horrifyingly and amazingly realistic.

After this novel, I want to try reading her other books as well!
