If I Stay by Gayle Forman
4.0

This was a really good book. When I read the beginning, my jaw dropped twice. First when the author was describing what happened to the car after the truck plowed into it. The second time was when I was reading the part where Mia found her father.

I think Gayle Forman did an amazing job describing Mia's surgery and what it’s like being a patient in the ICU. I would've liked a little more "outer body" experience, but the story was captivating without it. And I loved the ending.

There was one thing that bothered me though . .. I noticed some spelling errors/missing words in the text of my copy. Even with these slight mistakes I still enjoyed the story and thought the author wrote exceptionally well.

Confession: I did tear up a couple of times while reading, although I did not break down into a sobbing mess. lol So if you cry easily, have a tissue ready.
