If I Stay
Author: Gayle Forman
201 pages according to Goodreads I actualy read it on a digital version but oh well.It is much shorter than I exepected it to be.
Genre: YA Contemporary
Book Description: Choices. Seventeen-year-old Mia is faced with some tough ones: Stay true to her first love—music—even if it means losing her boyfriend and leaving her family and friends behind?
Then one February morning Mia goes for a drive with her family, and in an instant, everything changes. Suddenly, all the choices are gone, except one. And it's the only one that matters.
So the main character is Mia, the book is told from her perspective. We see it in a divided time of sorts. We see her life before and her typical high school drama of:
1. The boy actually likes me
2. The insecurities. We're too differet. He's the too popular he can't like me.
3. What will happen when I leave for collage? Will our relationship survive?
To the atypical situation of her life at the moment:
1. She is unable to reconnect with her body.
2. She's all alone now.
3. Will she keep fighting or give up on life?
It is a very quick read. I believe maybe if it had been longer or at least gave me a proper ending it would have been awesome. I read this book in a single end of shift at work. So I just flew through it. The writting was very simple ad easy to understand. It was a bit too full of insecurities typical of teens, but that was to be expected.... It was a YA contemporary, though it was not as fluffy as it could have been.
The ain issue here was the ending. It was incomplete to put it mildly. But of course there's a second part which represents the end of the story. But I already saw the book description and I already decided not t like it :(
I gave this book a 3 out of 5 stars.... it wasn't bad but there was something missing, the ending!!
