Title: If I Stay
Author: Gayle Forman
Published: Dutton Juvenile
First Thing: Let me say that this book gave me the chills and the flowing works of tears. I had never had a book that made me cry nonstop. This book made me connect with Mia in a deep-spiritual way that no one had. Gayle produces this book like no other. Every element in this book woven into a delicate situation made me realize just how delicate our lives are.
Summary: 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...
Last thing: In the end this book left me with tears of joy, sadness, heartache, and lifetime of overwhelming determination that Mia lives. So many things in this book will leave the reader into loving, wondering, and sadness about how delicate our lives are and how much we need to appreciate it.
