The Bookworm Says...Yes. If I Stay by Gayle Forman was a pretty good book. It was somewhat sad and gory but oh well. It was a snowy day in Oregon, and everything was closed. So, why not take a trip down to your mothers house with your kids for dinner? That's exactly what Mia's family did. But on the way there... Something tragic happened. A car accident. Maybe they slid, maybe the truck hit them. Maybe. When Mia woke up, all she could hear was the radio playing the classical music station she had to fight to get on. She tried to find her family in the wreckage, but failed. She was lifted onto a stretcher and brought to a hospital. Her brother Teddy, her parents...What happened? She finds herself able to step out of her body that is in a coma, and listen to the people around her. The one thing she hears over and over, is that she gets to pick whether she stays alive or not. Of course, it would be easier to leave. It would be more painful to stay, but worth it in the end? What are the pros and cons? What will happen if I stay?

I would recommend this book to any strings players, or anyone who is into classical music. Also, any hard-core rockers, as Mia's parents and boyfriend are or were all in rock bands. On the cover, it says fans of twilight would love this book, and you would. Even if you hated twilight, you might still love this.
