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: Stay 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 a heartachingly beautiful book about the power of love, the true meaning of family, and the choices we all make.
I don't know what to expect when I started reading If I Stay. I've watched the movie and it was kinda meh. I started reading the novel last year and I just stopped in the middle of it because I thought it was boring. Then, not long ago I saw the novel just sitting on my table and decided to give it a second chance. It turned out, I was quite right about putting it down in the first place because If I Stay isn't exactly my jar of cookies.
