The conflict throughout I Was Here is Cody’s lack of knowledge as to why Meg committed suicide. In the first chapters, Cody explains how Meg was a unique and fun person, and later in the book, Cody calls Meg the Sun to her Earth. Throughout the book, Cody keeps finding more surprises on Meg’s laptop. Cody first finds the emails between Meg and Ben, then she finds encrypted files, and finally she finds the suicide support group’s website. This leads her to find a user that encouraged Meg to commit suicide. Cody wants to understand why Meg committed suicide and who is responsible, because she was clueless from the beginning until close to the end.
