If I Stay by Gayle FormanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a very moving story about a young girl who is hovering on the edge of death, laying in the ICU following a horrible car accident.
As she watches from outside her body, she realizes that she must decide whether to stay or let go. Her family and friends are keeping watch, and praying, and hoping. She watches them, but doesn't know if she can come back to them.
The story goes from the present to the past, offering glimpses into her life with her parents and younger brother, and touching on various defining moments in her young life.
As she struggles with a literal life and death decision, the reader struggles along too. When she finally makes her choice, it is heart-wrenching, but absolutely the right choice for her.
