If I Stay by Gayle Forman


IF I Stay is ... is about a 17 year old girl, named Mia. She has been in a tragic car accident and is in "suspended state". She hears and sees things, including her own body and struggles with trying to decide it it is up to hear to "stay" or go.

There are flashback memories, some entertaining and some rather ordinary. This book is a easy read but it isn't memorable.

The character's don't really stand out and while the plot has the potential to be really good, it falls short.

Check it our or borrow it.

Grade: C

Synopsis [B&N]
In the blink of an eye everything changes. Seventeen­year-old Mia has no memory of the accident; she can only recall what happened afterwards, watching her own damaged body being taken from the wreck. Little by little she struggles to put together the pieces- to figure out what she has lost, what she has left, and the very difficult choice she must make. Heartwrenchingly beautiful, Mia's story will stay with you for a long, long time.
