Reviews
"How do we reinvent ourselves when we can't even recognize the body we are in? Can you know where you're headed if you don't know where you came from? These are the questions faced by the prickly Maribeth, the complex and fascinating character at the center of Leave Me . In her first novel for adults, Forman reminds the reader that the answer to both questions involves getting to the heart of the matter." -- Jodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling author of Leaving Time "Told with humor and heart, Leave Me reveals that sometimes you have to leave everything you treasure in order to find your way back home. A moving testament to the persistence of love and the healing power of forgiveness." --Tayari Jones, author of Silver Sparrow "Here's to complicated women and the authors who write them! Whatever the age of her characters, Gayle Forman is a compassionate, gifted observer of women's lives." --Gabrielle Zevin, author of The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry , "Gayle Forman is known for her dreamy but hard-hitting young adult novels, including the best-selling If I Stay . With her first foray into grown-up fiction, Leave Me , she doesn't shy away from the tough questions in this deep-diving and highly entertaining read. It's hard not to relate to--and root for--Maribeth even as she does the unthinkable: abandons her children." -- Family Circle "Popular teen author Forman's adult debut examines just what it means to be a working mother--beholden to everyone, seemingly obligated to forget who you really are. Maribeth's search for her birth mother and the way she settles into her new--albeit temporary--life away from home will strike a chord with readers, especially those who enjoy Jennifer Weiner and Meg Wolitzer." -- Booklist , starred review "Absorbing...LEAVE ME deftly explores the domestic struggles of 21st-century bourgeois life. This is an insightful ode to - and cautionary tale for - the overburdened working mother." -- BookPage "YA author Forman's successful foray into adult fiction...With humor and pathos, Forman depicts Maribeth's complicated situation and her thoroughly satisfying arc, leaving readers feeling as though they've really accompanied Maribeth on her journey." -- Publishers Weekly Award-winning teen author Forman's (I Was Here, 2015, etc.) adult debut nails the frustrations of working motherhood.... An appealing fairy tale for the exhausted and underappreciated. -- Kirkus Reviews "At times funny, at times heartbreaking, Leave Me is a promising entrance into adult genres for the already-bestselling author." -- Foreword Reviews "How do we reinvent ourselves when we can't even recognize the body we are in?

[ Leave Me ] is her first adult novel, and it's (unsurprisingly) fantastic." -- Bustle.com "Absorbing...LEAVE ME deftly explores the domestic struggles of 21st-century bourgeois life. This is an insightful ode to - and cautionary tale for - the overburdened working mother." -- BookPage "Forman, known for bestselling YA drama If I Stay, shines in this exploration of some very grownup angst in her adult fiction debut. A nuanced take on the idea of wanting to "have it all"--and knowing when to give it all up." -- B&NReads.com "Poignant, thoughtful and often hilarious, Leave Me is a fast-paced and heartwarming read about a woman needing to give up everything in order to have it all. In this thoughtful and funny novel, after suffering a heart attack, a harried young mother leaves home to regain health and balance while seeking out her birth mother." -- Shelf Awareness for Readers " Leave Me is popular YA author Gayle Forman's first novel aimed at adult readers, and here's hoping it won't be her last." -- Bookreporter.com , "Gayle Forman is known for her dreamy but hard-hitting young adult novels, including the best-selling If I Stay .

Synopsis
A #1 September LibraryReads Selection A September Indie Next Pick An Amazon Best Book of the Month A People Pick Every woman who has ever fantasized about driving past her exit on the highway instead of going home to make dinner, and every woman who has ever dreamed of boarding a train to a place where no one needs constant attention--meet Maribeth Klein. A harried working mother who's so busy taking care of her husband and twins, she doesn't even realize she's had a heart attack. Surprised to discover that her recuperation seems to be an imposition on those who rely on her, Maribeth does the unthinkable: she packs a bag and leaves. But, as is often the case, once we get where we're going we see our lives from a different perspective. Far from the demands of family and career and with the help of liberating new friendships, Maribeth is able to own up to secrets she has been keeping from herself and those she loves. With bighearted characters--husbands, wives, friends, and lovers--who stumble and trip, grow and forgive, Leave Me is about facing the fears we're all running from. Gayle Forman is a dazzling observer of human nature. She has written an irresistible novel that confronts the ambivalence of modern motherhood head on and asks, what happens when a grown woman runs away from home?
