In the first semester I read two books, however, the book that I overall enjoyed more was If I Stay, written by Gayle Forman. This book is about a seventeen year old girl, Mia. Mia and her family thought that it was every other normal snow day off of school, however they were in for a rude awakening. They went out on a normal car ride, however they got into a horrible car accident that almost killed their entire family instantly. Mia is the only member of her family to survive, and she finds herself in a coma. Throughout the book, it explains how Mia is almost having an out of body expirience because she is alive but almost like a ghost. Mia watches over herself as her grandparents, bestfriend, and her boyfriend stay with her. The the doctor explains to the grandparents how every other family member has passed and Mia is the only one left. She thinks about how easy it would be to just give up and to be with her family. However, she thinks about her college chance at Julliard which is just about the best arts school in the country.
If you want to find out what happens with Mia, you need to read the book to find out. This book kept me engaged and made me really want to keep reading it to try and find out what ends up happening to Mia. I usually do not like fictional books, however, it made it seem like a real story so that is why I enjoyed reading it. If you enjoy reading non-fiction type plots this would totally be a book for you. I give it an overall rating of 9/10. If you end up reading it, I hope you enjoy it like I did!
According to your review of If I Stay it sounds like a book I would be interested in reading. I like to read realistic fiction so this book might be one for me. If I stay might be my 4th quarter book. Thank you for recommending this book.
