Why read it?
1 author picked I Hope You Stay as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book was chosen because of the deep, profound love that is displayed throughout the book. It speaks to how vulnerable a person makes themselves when they love deeply and how scary that can be.

I also identified with the journey of coming to loving oneself again and with that being open to finding someone better.
From Penelope's list on The best inspirational books on how to turn life’s tragedies into victories.
