               The book If I Stay by Gayle Forman is a young adult book based on the life of seventeen year old Mia. The book begins talking about a snow day. When the family car gets struck by a semi-truck and her parents are both DOA, will Mia choose to stay or go? The book is her reliving all of her memories of the past two years with her boyfriend, Adam, and her family while she is in a coma. She is aware of what is going on around her and it is up to her, is she strong enough to stay and fight, or would it be easier to just go? It is an amazing book and a quick read. Gayle reaches to all of the depths of human emotion and then some, leaving you in a constant state of awe.
