Review: books... "If I Stay" by Gayle Forman

Rating: 5 out of 5

Bottom Line: if you haven't ever read it, then YOU ARE SO MISSING OUT!

Synop: Mia has always been different. She grew up in a family of post-youth punk-rockers as a cello player. A celloist. In a family of punks. Her father played in a band. Her mother was his biggest fan. She was the odd little egg.

Then she meets Adam. Adam who also plays in a band, Shooting Star. And they're making it. They're going to go on tour, he's going to put college on hold.

But will she? Will she stay true to herself and go to Julliard? or will she follow the love of her life across the country?



But one snowy day in Oregon takes everything away. Suddenly, they're is only one question left: should she stay?

Rave: you HAVE to read this, even if it's THE. LAST. BOOK. you'll EVER read.

the characters are not only realistic, but heart-felt. they were love-able. they weren't only believable, but someone you fell in love with. they found a cozy spot in your heart. i'll never forget this book. that's for sure.

now, i have to tell you this: i NEVER buy books. i borrow, literally, a dozen books every week. books come and books go.

i don't have the money to buy books. BUT THIS BOOK IS WORTH IT. EVERY. PENNY.

this is one of those books where you'll read over and over. and you'll cry. every time, no matter how many times you read it. 

it will never grow old.
