If I Stay by Gayle Forman

  

Summary from Goodreads:

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 heartachingly beautiful story about the power of family and friends, the choices we all make—and the ultimate choice Mia commands.

My Review:

I really enjoyed this book. It was kind of confusing at first though. Mia is in a horrible car accident with her parents and brother Teddy. While Mia is  unconscious  some part of her comes out of her so she can see what's going on in real life while she is unconscious (If that made sense). The story kind of goes through what's going on in real life, while Mia is telling you happy parts of her life before the car accident. 

Plot:

The plot was very interesting. It was cool to read about Mia in the present time AND in the past through memories. The only thing that it was lacking was some happiness. I know it's supposed to be a sad book, but I thought it could have some happy stuff.

Characters:

MIA- I enjoyed this book a lot because of Mia. She was a great character. I felt like I could relate to her. She is a big music person. She plays the cello very well. I play piano and violin so I enjoy music as well.

ADAM- He is Mia's boyfriend. He is the complete opposite of Mia but that's what made me love them as a couple. They balanced each other out. He is also into music but he is more into rock and pop.

KIM- She is Mia's friend. You don't really pick up much of her but you can already tell she's a caring friend. :)

MY RATING: 4/5 STARS
