The book that I am going to read is "If I Stay". I am on page page 51, so I am not too far into the book yet but this is what I have figured out.

        This book is about a girl, named Mia who lives in a family of 4, herself, her brother (Teddy), and her mother and father, she also has a gramp and a gram (Grandma and Grandpa). Mia also has a cool boyfriend name Adam and he is in college close by to where she lives and he is in a band. Mia also plays the cello and she is really good at it, she tried out for Julliard for college because her cello teacher and her gramps really wanted her too, but she hasn't gotten the response yet. In the beginning of the book it starts of with a snow day and the whole family wants to go somewhere together. I have noticed that there isn't chapters it just starts off with a new time of the day and in each chapter it alternates between a flash back and what is happening in real life. The family gets in a car crash and Mia finds herself seeing everything that is happening even after the car crash. She finds her dead mom and dad and her brother who I think is still breathing. Mia also sees everything that is happening to her and she can't tell if she is dead or alive.

        What has happened so far has lead me to some predictions. I think that Mia is still alive but she is in vital condition so she still needs help to survive by some machines. Since she is technically still breathing but she has no active response from her body she is stuck in between passing on to heaven and staying alive, because she is in this condition Mia can see everything that is happening. Since her parents are already dead I think that her brother will die too and so her whole family will be dead. But her gramps and grams are still alive and most importantly so is her boyfriend, Adam. I think that Mia will have to decide if she wants to stay in earth with her boy friend and grandparents, or if she wants to die with the rest of her family.

        The author of my book is Gayle Forman. I haven't heard or read about any of his others books before, but I know that my book has a second called "Where She Went". I am guessing that, this book would be about the choice that Mia made on where she decided to go and the consequences of what she chose. Even though the book is called "Where she Went" I am really hoping that this book "If I Stay" tells us what she chooses to do and not leave us on a cliff hanger forcing us to read the next book. But I have heard from the opinions of my friends that this is a really good book and is worth reading.
