I really liked this book but it was awfully short. I liked how the heroine told the story in flashbacks. I want to read the second book but I won't pay eight dollars for 120 pages. Honestly the only negative I had about this book is the length of it.

i learned that sometimes death is not the easy way out. yes, you may have lost your family(mom,dad, brother), and you think that there's not much point in living, but you also have another family waiting for you, and they love you just as much
If I Stay is a bittersweet memory of a family and their loved ones. It's told through the eyes of Mia, who watches herself being treated in the hospital as her loved ones surround her. And she has to make the toughest choice of all...
I really love the way the story was told, while Mia is watching over her own body in the hospital she is reminded of memories of her family and friends and through that we got to know them better. It was beautiful how the story of her life unfolds. I absolutely adored her family and friends, everyone was their own character with specific traits and quirks, and what a loving family as well! That made me that much more emotionally invested in the story, they seemed so real.
For as much as this book falls into the heartbreaking and sad category it was actually rather funny at times! It made the book so much easier for me to read. I also loved how much music played a part of the story, Mia with her cello, her boyfriend Adam with his band and her father's days in a band as well. Music was a beautiful background for this story.
All in all a bittersweet and rewarding book! I'm not always one for sad books but recently I've been finding out that there are some I actually really love and this is definitely one of them!

For some reason, I thought this was about a girl's decision to stay with her boyfriend or go to college. Not an entirely exciting premise, but very YA. I was also very wrong. In this, the FMC is in a coma after a horrific car accident. Her decision to stay alive is what's at stake. Told in stories from her life and what she sees in the hospital, she fights a battle no one should have to.
