People don't notice that everything can change in just one second anywhere and anytime. The book, If I Stay, written by Gayle Forman is a fiction book about Mia and her life. She was driving with her family one day and they turned a corner and her whole life changed. All the sudden she went from being a human being to her spirit seeing everything around her very clearly. Her family (her mom, dad, and little brother) were severely injured and rushed to the hospital and Mia could see it all. Her boyfriend, Adam, is her dream boy but after a couple months of dating, his band gets serious and they struggle keeping them selves as a relationship. Her best friend is forced to face the fact that Mia and Adam love each other. She had the perfect boyfriend, a wonderful best friend, a loving family, and a amazing talent. She could play cello the like no one else. Anyone could see her love and passion for just by seeing a second of her playing. The book continues with her human body in the hospital fighting for her life while her spirit experiences everything else. It goes back and forth from before the accident and after.
I loved this book so much and could read it over and over again. Gayle Forman's style of writing was very enjoyable and I would definitely read more of him. It was very interesting and I could not stop reading it. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a romantic drama story. This book is definitely one of the best books I've read.
