I literally bawled my eyes out as I read this book and then proceeded to cry some more after finishing book 2, Where She Went. This book is amazing. It’s set in the Columbia Gorge near Portland, OR. I live in Oregon and travel to Portland all the time for Dr appointments and I have never lived in a different state besides OR so when I say this …
It was kind of a happily ever after. I love the way things ended and how it wasn’t really a sad ending, more happy. it made me want to read more, unlike most books.
I was mad at the ending until I found out there’s a second book. The main character is basically stuck in limbo after being in a terrible car wreck. She can see everything that’s going on around her. She has to decide whether she wants to stay alive or pass to the other side. I don’t want to give away too much of the book so just read it! Can’t …
i had reservations about starting this book but it pulled me in from the first page and i devoured it in less than 24 hours. i enjoyed the entirety of it and now want to read the sequel, and see the movie. it reminded me of you before me in its context…love story mixed with tragedy and hope. it filled my heart because that’s life in a nutshell …
The book is so full of teen angst that there are times it is difficult to continue but you want to know how it will resolve, if it can resolve….
a very poignant roller coaster of a story. I wanted to skip to the end, I was so anxious to know how the book ended but made myself not. My feelings were all over the place when I read this. I couldn’t wait until I read the next book. I recommended this to several people I will read it again
I meant to read this in my free time, but once I read the preview, I had to own the book and couldn’t stop reading. An interesting view of that space between life and death.
I NEVER call things “inspirational” but I read this while deeply depressed and it helped me keep going.
Such an emotinal roller coaster. Every chapter is the chance to fall in love with another character, with the family, with this young teens memories. Then it takes that love and smashes it into reality. I cried, and laughed so much reading this book.
Truly an amazing book.
I have never cried so hard. I love this story.
Teenagers need a good story to help them understand that life is fragile and choices have consequences. This is it.
I love all her books. Whether you are a young adult or older you will enjoy reading her books.
This is one of THOSE books. The kind you can’t put down. The kind that has no chapters–no where to stop or pause or even take a bathroom break. If I Stay is an intense, emotional, short little book that will haunt you for days.
It was so amazing! I read it over and over again along with the sequel. It was a beautiful tale of love and loss that I definitely revommend
Good series
amazing when i finish I just start reading it again and again
At first, I had an exceptionally negative feeling towards reading this novel because I had seen the movie first. Honestly, I had liked to watch the film and then explore the book but with this novel…oh, boy! I wish I had done the opposite.
I truly can’t begin to explain why I disliked the movie so very much, but I can start by saying, “Not …
I couldn’t stop thinking about this book after I finished it. Highly recommend, if you love romance books
I chose this book for my Book Club selection this month. I wanted to read it, and I knew the movie was coming out later this month. I’m so glad I chose it and that I got finished with my previous book on the 31st of July so I could start this one right on the first. I enjoyed this book (amidst my tears) very much. It shows how choices are all …
this book for me was so sad but not to the point of ruining the story.Things somebody this young shouldn’t have to deal with.Don’t want to give away anything so will stop here read this book is so worth it.
