Reveiw: If I Stay has been sitting on my desk for a month calling me name, and I managed to read it in one night. I fell in love with it right away. I love the way that Gayle writes and how she went from past to present and back again. It showed how Mia's life was before the accident and how much her and her boyfriend really do love each other. The characters were all so lovable, they all cared and wanted to best for Mia whatever it may be. The ending of If I Stay was really unpridictable. The way Gayle wrote it, you thought the opposite was going to happen. It almost had to sitting on the edge of your seat! I loved it. I'm so glad I finally read this book, but I wish I would have sooner.
