When I read If I Stay by Gayle Forman, I thought it was a touching and thoughtfully written book because this was the first time I’ve read a book where the main character is talking from an unconscious girl’s view (from her hospital bed). Her family got killed in a car crash that killed her mom, dad and sadly her little brother. She was the only one that came out of that crash still breathing. When she was at the hospital (in the beginning) she didn’t know if her family was dead yet, until she heard her grandparents whispering about it. She got visited by so many caring people, her grandparents and boyfriend. She kept thinking if she should stay and try to get her life back or just die with the rest of her family. But in the end it was the boyfriend’s heartfelt decision to visit her at the hospital and “talk” to her instead of going on tour with the band that nudged her closer to staying, but the final push was when he said if she stayed he would give her anything. <3
Nice summary! I totally agree with you about how thoughtful the book is. I read it last year and I though it was really meaningful.
