What if you had the chance to choose to stay on earth or leave it behind, do you know what you would decide? In If I Stay, by Gayle Forman, main character Mia has to make that difficult decision after a fatal car accident that killed the rest of her family.  With the help of her boyfriend Adam, Mia will have to choose to stay, or leave her life behind.

I thought that this book was a perfect 10 from cover to cover! Gayle Forman wrote this book so that you're in the mind of the unconscious main character, Mia. While reading this book I wanted to make the decisions for Mia, because of the heartfelt love story of Mia and her boyfriend Adam. This is a compelling love story for young adults. I definitely recommend this book for someone who is looking for a  good non-sappy love story.
