If I Stay


A touching novel about choices, life, death, music and love. Beautifully written and interestingly formatted. I'd say that anyone could love this book because it deals with all sorts of issues. Though the story deals with death I would like to note that it isn't in anyway scary, dont be worried, no nightmares ;)

Mia was just an average seventeen year old girl with dreams and promising future ahead of her. But all of a sudden their family gets into a car crash. A bad one... both her mom, dad, and brother are dead. Mia experiences the losses outside of her body. Her fate is ultimately decided by what she chooses. Can she bare to live as an orphan, to go on without her mom and dad? Can she leave behind her loving boyfriend and chance at Juliard. Faced with difficult decisions Mia revisits her past in order to decide her future.
