'If I Stay' by Gayle Forman
Mia is left in a coma after a devastating car crash that kills her mom, dad, and brother. In If I Stay readers watch as Mia recalls memories about her eccentric family, her journey as a talented cellist, and the boyfriend she is deeply in love with. She also overhears the honest words her family, friends, and boyfriend have with her comatose body. Mia, deeply sad about the loss of her family, is forced to make a decision about whether she will give up, or regain consciousness and live without them.
Forman's novel is incredibly sad and very powerful If you are looking for a light read, this is not the book for you. However, Mia's character is very easy to relate with and interesting, and you will be captivated by the situation she has been faced with.
