Review: If I Stay

If I Stay by Gayle Forman

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This felt like such a fresh story and I really liked it. I love that the young teenage girl heroine didn't seem like every other teenage heroine in books right now (rebellious, violent, fighting wars, dealing with love triangles, etc.). She was just more...real. I love that the story was really about HER FAMILY and not about having an adventure without parents or a family tying her down. She's a "good girl," but not boring. She's talented, she's in love, she loves her family, and she's at a crossroad where she has to make a REALLY hard decision. It just felt real and interesting and it made me cry a little - not too much; just enough.
