The book I read was, "If I Stay," by Gayle Forman. "If I Stay," is about a high school student named Mia who suffers a tragic car accident along with her mother, father, and younger brother, Teddy. Throughout the book, Mia tells in her point of view what is happening around her and how her and her family are doing in the hospital. Mia includes certain memories that were important to her, such as memorable times with her family and experiences with her boyfriend. My opinion about this book is that it is an excellent book. I think this because the author wrote this book carefully and precisely, so that you feel as if you are actually in the book, watching everything happen through the eyes of Mia. This book is realistic fiction because suffering an extreme car accident, along with other events in the book, is something that could happen. Yet, nothing in this book actually did happen in real life, making this book realistic fiction. I believe that this book can be read by both girls and boys (but girls would probably prefer it more than boys) and would be enjoyed by someone who doesn't mind reading a sad story. I think this because "If I Stay," is not a gender-based book and nor is it a happy one.
