heidinger6Wednesday, January 18, 2017 at 7:40 amIf I Stay By Gayle Forman In the book “If I Stay” there are 2 main characters, Mia & Adam. The book takes place outside, and in a hospital. There is a very tense moment at the end. It is a young adult fiction. The book is about a girl (Mia) that likes a boy (Adam). Mia and her family get in a car crash, and the whole family dies except one person… Can you guess who it is? My favorite part in the book is when they get in a car crash and her soul takes over. When she is in the hospital nobody can see her soul. So she starts to freak out. I would recommend this book if you like relatable books or if you like book that make you tense up. This book took me about six days to read. I also watched the movie that went with it..
This book is really emotional I would cry and smile I fell in love it's all of the characters they are just to sweet.
i've watched the movie its a really sad movie.But it grabs your attention without you noticing and then all of a sudden your reading the book.
At first this may not grab your attention, but just keep on reading it. I'm sure you'll like it. Watch the movie after reading. Movies ruin books!!!- Miranda sings Tuesday, February 2, 2016 at 8:39 amI think the book of I stay is a wonderful book it made me read and that never happens thinks go you gayle Forman you got ME to read!!!!!!!! Xoxoxo puglife/thuglife

melodytThursday, January 28, 2016 at 2:11 amThis book is really sad and emotional, I think that this is a really really true story. many people on earth is lonely no family member. When Mia was in the hospital she wasn't dead but then her soul was already not inside her body. Love is the most important thing in the world. love can make someone alive. Love makes everything better. I recommend this book to people who is sad and I think that this book will really help you and encourage.
