If I Stay

Synopsis

In a single moment, everything changes. Seventeen-year-old Mia has no memory of the accident; she can only recall riding along the snow-wet Oregon road with her family. Then, in a blink, she finds herself watching as her own damaged body is taken from the wreck... A sophisticated, layered, and heartachingly beautiful story about the power of family and friends, the choices we all make—and the ultimate choice Mia commands.

"I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't be captivated by [this novel.] Gayle's insight into teens and her exploration of the many facets of love and family are hard to forget."
–Family Circle

"The brilliance of the book is the simplicity."
–Wall Street Journal

"If I Stay" throbs with love and tragedy. And the dilemma of choice. Long after its last moment, readers may find themselves dwelling on how the story resonates in their own lives."

Dest Says:

“What is the copyright year for both of the books?”

Maria Says:

“Read it for the third time! ”

The Critic Says:

“I actually did not enjoy If I Stay, believe it or not. Mia annoyed me and so did her family. I did, however, fall in love with Adam the same way Mia did. Its a good book for food for thought, and I am eagerly anticipating Where She Went. ”
