If I Stay

If I Stay- Gayle Forman ***

Generally speaking, I am not one to like romance novels or books with exceedingly corny story lines. I did enjoy If I Stay as it wasn't overly mushy gushy but it is definitely an easy read. Not something you want to pick up if you are looking to provoke a little thought or in-depth pondering (many will likely disagree with that statement.) 
Life comes to a screeching halt when Mia and her family are involved in fatal car accident, fatal for all but Mia. This is a coming of age novel that takes a drastic approach to the decisions and ultimatums teens are faced with as they step into adulthood. Mia must decide between life or death and the reader tags along for her journey.
