The Book That Stays With You

Some books are good while you are reading them.

Then some books stay with you after you close them.

You might be washing dishes, driving, folding laundry, or trying to go to sleep, and suddenly you are thinking about a character like they are somebody you know. That is when you know a story did something right.

I love when a book gives me more than just a beginning and an ending. I love when it leaves me thinking about a choice, a secret, a relationship, or a moment that felt too real to forget.

Those are the stories that sit with you a little longer.

What is a book or character you still think about after finishing?
