Stay or Leave?

”What would you do if you had to choose.” Mia she had everything she could ever want, a loving family, a great boyfriend, and a musical career ahead of her. But that was before she got in a car crash. She has to choose to live or to die, to stay or to leave, she stuck remembering how happy her past was, but not knowing what her future will be. Mia has two parents and one younger brother but she doesn’t know what has happened to her brother and she can’t ask since no one can hear or see her. “If I Stay” by Gayle Forman is a great book where Mia sees what’s happening to her after she gets in a car crash, she’s not really in her body anymore but she can’t go through walls like ghost since she’s not really dead. The book gets told in two parts, the first part is when she gets in the car crash and what is happening, it gets signaled by a time stamp. While the other part is about stories of her past and these are signaled by leaf like things. “If I Stay” was such a good book and it is  very good at building up suspense since as things are about to happen sometimes they switch to the past. My favorite part is probably towards the end where she starts questioning if she should just let go or stay because it’s a really emotional part. If you had to choose would you live a life without your family or let go and die with them?
