Synopsis from jacket:
“Just listen,” Adam says with a voice that sounds like shrapnel.
I open my eyes wide now. I sit up as much as I can. And I listen.
“Stay,” he says.
Choices. Seventeen-year-old Mia is faced with some tough ones. Say true to her first love – music – even if it means losing her boyfriend and leaving her family and friends behind?
Then, one February morning Mia goes for a drive with her family, and in an instant, everything changes. Suddenly, all the choices are gone, except one. And it’s the only one that matters.
If I Stay is heartachingly beautiful book about the power of love, the true meaning of family, and the choices we all make.
Was it Worth My Time?
Most Definitely!! This book is one of my new favorites. I couldn’t get enough. What was most amazing to me was that one paragraph made my eyes tear up with sadness and the next paragraph had me smiling and even laughing out loud. It was a great combination.
Gayle Forman wrote a fast-paced, solid novel. The protagonist, Mia, is conflicted (as most of us would be) at the choice she must make. As a reader, you become her friend – cheering her on and feeling her pain as she discovers all that is lost.
What Bothered Me?
Absolutely Nothing!
