Promo and Giveaway: Life Lessons From Gayle Forman

Happy Friday, fabulous readers! No review today (life got in the way), but I do have a rather sad yet uplifting post for you all. I'm helping promote Gayle Forman and her powerful contemporary novels. While I haven't read any of them (I am terrified!), I adore some of the quotes in her books.


With that, I will share a few of my favorite Forman quotes, and songs that I think pair well with the quotes!


“You were so busy trying to be my savior that you left me all alone.”

Gayle Forman, Where She Went

I love this quote! It reminds me of people (especially parents) who work so hard to provide for their families to give them a better life, but this distances them from the people they love. So bittersweet yet so real. Like the song!

“I have a feeling that once you live through something like this, you become a little bit invincible.”

- Gayle Forman, If I Stay

The quote belongs on a mug or a poster or something! It's a more uplifting quote, and I think the song fits it well ("wings", you know).

“I realize now that dying is easy. Living is hard.” 
or in Spanish (which is gorgeous), 
“Morir es fácil. Lo duro es vivir.”

- Gayle Forman, If I Stay

Living really IS hard. Giving up (which, in this case, is dying), can seem like a much better option sometimes. This quote seems tragic, but it's also a motivational one.

"Because love, it never dies, it never goes away, it never fades, so long as you hang on to it.” 

- Gayle Forman, If I Stay

This quote is so sweet! Never give up on long, no matter how hopeless or broken everything seems. 

(This post probably tells you something about the type of music I like.) :D
