“If I Stay” is a book written by Gayle Forman. The book, often mentioned in the book community, was all over the hype last year when its movie adaptation hit the theaters.

Mia and her family had a terrible car accident, her parents were dead almost instantly, and she didn´t know what happened to her little brother. She was taken to hospital and put on the ICU. Her parents, family and friends visit her and she sees everything from outside of her body. Now she has to decide if she stays or leave to the uncertain place her parents leave.

“If I Stay” was a phenomenal book. If you read the plot it might seem like a supernatural ghost story but it isn’t, I will even consider it realistic fiction, since it felt more like what a person about to die will feel if that person would be able to see what the people she loves is going though. I think it was a heartbreaking book, a page turner that I read from cover to cover. In my opinion, it’s one of those books that make you think about your life, the people that surround you, and the people you love. “If I Stay” made me remember moments of my life I thought I didn’t, and it made me feel grateful for what I have.

In conclusion, I think “If I Stay” it’s a fantastic book that puts you into perspective.

As I also said on the previous month's post I was going to center this past month's TBR on the "Sweep/ Wicca" series by Cate Tiernan, and that is what I did. I managed to finish the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and get thought half of the eleventh. I have enjoyed most of this books, however the last two, Seeker and Origins, change the point of view and I have not been able to click with them as I was able to so with the other ones. As for the November TBR, I want to still finish this series, reading the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and sixteenth books in the series, Eclipse, Reckoning, Full Circle and Night Child. Appart from that, I want to keep finishing s...
