Stay with Me

A small-town girl and a troubled boy find an unexpected connection that transcends their differences.

“Griffin gracefully answers questions and solves mysteries, leaving us with hope and a smile without making things falsely shiny and bright.”—The New York Times Book Review

Céce and Mack couldn’t be more opposite. She’s a sensitive A-student and he’s a high school dropout. But one thing’s for certain: They can’t resist their love for each other and soon they’re spending every moment together, bonding over a rescued dog and telling their darkest secrets.

Then Mack makes a horrible mistake and suddenly their world is torn apart. Now Céce and Mack must find meaning and hope in the memories of what they had . . . and figure out how to survive when the person they love can’t stay.
