If I Stay by Gayle Forman

3.0

The last chapter really saves this book. Throughout my reading, I was never exceedingly gripped or overwhelmed by this story though I wasn't bored by it. A few times I'd come across a particularly moving passage but for the most part this was unremarkable. With the last chapter, however, I found that I actually did like this book a certain amount and I wouldn't consider having read it to be a waste of time.

I can see why so many people enjoyed this book; to me it was just a bit predictable. I'd say if you're gripped by the premise of this book then you should definitely go for it but otherwise I wouldn't go out of my way to read it if I were you.
