The book that I am still reading is if I stay. What is happening in my book right now is Mia is telling a story about how here and her family are different. They are different because of their types of music that they like, they seem like they wouldn't ever be able to get along with how different they are from each other. The story that she is telling is particularly about her and her dad. She said that when she first started playing the cello her dad was still in a rock band. She never played with anyone lese like her dad did and she never had any people in the crowd standing and yelling and cheering for her so she decided to quit I the 8th grade. But her best friend Kim convinced her to keep playing because she was way to good to stop now.
     I am very surprised that Mia still hasn't felt any emotion yet. Both of her parents died, and she saw their dead bodies, and she doesn't know if her brother is dead or if he is at a hospital somewhere. And yet Mia still hasn't shredded a single tear. If I saw my parents dead and their brains laying all across the street, I wouldn't be able to handle myself and I have no idea what I would do, but I do know one thing, I would be crying. Also she hasn't found her little brother and she hasn't bothered to look for him or any thing. Lastly, Mia is still in a state of where she can see and hear everyone around her like she is still alive, but they can't see or hear her. Why isn't Mia trying to figure what she has to do to get out of this state or why hasn't Mia tried to figure out what is happening to her? All she is doing is walking around just following her boyfriend, Adam, and her family.

     What I like about what is happening in with this book is that every other chapter it switches from being about what is happening to her now and what has happened to her in the past. Even though sometimes you just want to get on with what is happening to her right now, but the little stories about her life in between each chapter gives you good incite into her old life and how she used to be and how she cam to be the person that she is now. Also you get to learn about her family and her friends and her boyfriend too.  I think that these little through back stories in between will have a meaning towards the end of the story. I also like how even though Mia can't talk to her boyfriend now she still  has a relationship that she can still feel with him even though Adam doesn't even know that Mia is with him.
