[Book Review] If I Stay by Gayle Forman

Title : If I Stay

Author : Gayle Forman

Rating : 4/5

     It is a story about Mia's soul that caught between life and death which forced her to make a decision she should take, to stay or to leave. She once had a beautiful lovely family, a good nature father, an accentric mother and a cute brother. But everyone's gone except her because of a car accident. If she chose to stay, there would be no mom or dad or Teddy? If she chose to leave, what about Adam or her grandpa and grandma?

Personally I got curious after reading its synopsis since I've never read a story about somebody's soul flying around looking at her own body lying on the hospital's bed. So, I searched it from one bookstore to another /okelebay. Finally I found it.

For me the storyline is quite amusing. But basicly the story centered about Mia's memories and how those memories involved in her decision making. As you read you might feel bored with Mia's attitude that the author pictured her. Mia is too fragile and too depend on Adam I think... but you just can't stop reading it 'cause of some reasons.

The way Gayle Forman wrote the story is.... I adore her. There are some quotes that brought me to tears too /hiks. For some people whose mother language aren't English would find this book easy to read. Though it was the first 'menye-menye' book that I've read I didn't feel giddy while reading it. I enjoy it so much.

My favorite characters in this novel are Adam and Grandpa. Adam is such a sweet sweet boyfriend. He is so kind and well-natured though he's a bit dramatic. And.... Grandpa. Gandpa is such a wise old-man. I even teared up when he told Mia to stay. He's a great man.

So, wanna read?
