It is told according to Mia’s perspective, however it isn’t simply her variant of the present. I love the way the tale of “If I Stay” is built. It is a book whose story simply remains with you. In this book you can imagine snapshots of sadness, snapshots of satisfaction, snapshots of agony, and snapshots of pleasantness. There are sure books that just sincerely channel you, and this was one of them. As much as this holds nothing back for the feels, there’s likewise a light quality to it with the weighty substance. The composing was awesome and there’s a ton of provocative material, to some degree covered by flashbacks and the stories say a lot. Each chapter is filled with emotion, and each recollection breaks my heart. They fight for her to stay while understanding why it’s so tough. It’s terrible to read as each loved one comes to her and express their love, support and understanding to her. We are acquainted with everyone through Mia’s recollections while she lies in a trance-like condition in the ICU, in a state between life and death. We alternate between scenes with Mia and her family in the hospital and her memories of significant people in her daily life. The tale is recounted in flashbacks between then, then, and now. The novel is about Mia’s struggle to make that life-changing decision. It’s a deeply personal story of a little girl whose life is turned upside down in an instant. Now a major motion picture starring Chloe Grace Moretz, Mia’s story will stay with you for a long, long time. Heart wrenchingly beautiful, this will change the way you look at life, love, and family. Little by little she struggles to put together the pieces- to figure out what she has lost, what she has left, and the very difficult choice she must make. Seventeen year-old Mia has no memory of the accident she can only recall what happened afterwards, watching her own damaged body being taken from the wreck.

In the blink of an eye everything changes.
