Publisher Description
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A heart-wrenchingly raw and heartbreakingly romantic story that asks the ultimate question: What would you do if you had to choose?
“Beautifully written.”—Entertainment Weekly
“Every moment I spent reading Forman’s masterpiece drew me in more.”—NPR
Mia had everything: a loving family, a gorgeous, adoring boyfriend, and a bright future full of music and full of choices. Then, in an instant, almost all of that is taken from her. Caught between life and death, between a happy past and an unknowable future, Mia spends one critical day contemplating the only decision she has left—the most important decision she’ll ever make. Simultaneously tragic and hopeful, this is a romantic, riveting, and ultimately uplifting story about memory, music, living, dying, loving.
Adapted into a major motion picture starring Chloe Grace Moretz, Mia’s story will stay with you for a long, long time.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
An idyllic snow day takes a tragic turn in this strikingly beautiful novel that features a marvelous, multigenerational cast of characters. Mia and Adam have a fantastic relationship founded on a shared passion for music and a preternaturally mature grasp of their core values. As Mia flashes back to key episodes in the couple’s shared history, Gayle Forman offers vivid, funny, and moving glimpses of familial interactions, key friendships, and the camaraderie among bandmates. Like The Fault in Our Stars, If I Stay is a heart-wrenching tale that embraces both the hopeful kaleidoscopic shimmer of young love and the brutal unpredictability of real life.

If I stay
This book is a very quick and easy read. It definitely held my attention as Mia struggled with her decision to fight or let go. I found myself rooting for her but understanding her difficult choice. I could see this book becoming a movie.
If I stay
I love this book I can say it is one of my favorites( I am very picky) . At least read the sample. Hope u love it as much as I do :)
WTH!
Did she get into Juilliard? Did they end up together??? The ending was abrupt and many parts dragged. I don 't agree with all the rave reviews.
