                                           {Review} If I stay by Gayle Forman

 

 

 

 

 

 

Firstly, I'd like to start out by this quote “Sometimes you make choices in life and sometimes choices make you.”
― Gayle Forman, If I Stay

 

In a single moment, everything changes. Seventeen-year-old Mia has no memory of the accident; she can only recall riding along the snow-wet Oregon road with her family. Then, in a blink, she finds herself watching as her own damaged body is taken from the wreck... A sophisticated, layered, and heart-achingly beautiful story about the power of family and friends, the choices we all make, and the ultimate choice Mia commands.

 

Mia has a pretty nice life. She has an understanding family, a dad who has transformed from a rock out punk to a businessman, a mom who is steady as a rock, and a younger brother who is as cute as a button. She has an awesome boyfriend that is part of a breakout band, the Shooting Stars. She also has a best friend named Kim, who understands her in a way no one else does. Then, one day she goes out for a drive with her family on a snowy day. Their car swerves out of control and hits another truck... and while Mia has had to make some choices in the past, is she ready to confront the most difficult of them all?

 

 

 

 

I just burst into tears in this book I feel that I just connected with this book so much it definitely leaves you breathless This book was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Gayle Forman is a very talented author. She masterfully incorporated music as a large part of the book, which was absolutely perfect making it have somewhat of a lyrical quality. The characters were all well-developed and real. The plots... wow. Everything was just so well organized and extraordinarily written... if I had to recommend one romance/drama for YA readers; it would probably be this novel."  "Both brutal and beautiful this thought provoking story will stay with readers long after the last page is turned." school Library journal, starred review
