The book is kind of boring but there are some parts that are so very beautiful. Especially the part when Mia joins Adam and her father and they form a mini orchestra in their garden.This book could have been great, but it was almost embarrassing to read at times. I know that sounds pretty mean, but c'mon.I can appreciate any novel that mentions Kathleen Hannah and Courtney Love in positive context (it also earns points for being set near Portland!), but I can't respect a novel that is full of cliches, unrealistic characters, and CHEESE. I almost had to stop reading when one character "played the other character's body like a guitar", and I actually did stop reading for
*4.5 stars*There is something comforting in that. To go down as a family. No one left behind. I'm not.I'm not crying. Why would I be?

If I stay was a bit confusing at first, but further reading addressed these nebulous matters. I thought that the concept of a family killed in a car accident was something that few thrillers do.In fact the only time I remember that happening was in D is for Deadbeat by Sue Grafton. The survivor of the vehicular massacre in If I Stay, is in a coma but is conscious. She is able to travel and visit most of the characters that matter in this world.I thought If I stay elevated itself beyond airport
There are two kinds of books, those that you finish reading and leave you with fleeting memories of the attractive hero, the silly heroine, and the overall storyline, or perhaps all you noted was the glaring plot holes, inconsistencies, ridiculousness or flat characters. At any rate, its a book that you read, either like or dislike, but no sooner than you have turned the last page, it is out of sight and out of mind. Then there is the other kind of book that will touch your heart, or awaken a
