Would you rather have a happy past to remember forever
or an unknown future to explore?
This is what young Mia has to attempt to figure out in the critically acclaimed American novel by internationally bestselling author and journalist Gayle Forman called If I Stay which follows the simultaneously tragic yet uplifting story of a musically-gifted girl as she undergoes a supernatural out-of-body experience, abling her to walk invisibly through corridors and walls, while her actual body is comatose at the hospital's intensive care unit after the horrific car accident on a slippery road one snowy February morning.
It seems that everything her rewarding life had from a loving family and an adoring boyfriend to a bright future brimming with lots of options like prestigious Julliard schooling is almost instantly taken away in a blink of an eye except for one life-altering decision that will totally be in the main character's hands to make as memories flash before her eyes.
All of the heart-wrenching events that lead to the end will likely keep you on the edge of your seat as she swings from one difficult choice to another. We recommend the book for those who loved the Twilight series (as mentioned on the book's front cover), Thirteen Reasons Why, and The Lovely Bones.
It's also a book you should read before seeing the film next month (like what we've always been saying when it comes to movies based on books!) as If I Stay is one of the most highly anticipated movie adaptations this year alongside The Maze Runner and part one of The Hunger Games trilogy's second installment Mockingjay. The sequel, Where She Went, is available at the High School LRC's fREADom hub as well.
