Premise
If I Stay, is a realistic fiction novel written by Gayle Forman. Mia Hall and her family decide to go to Portland to visit their grandparents. While her father is driving, they argue on what station to play. Her mother, Kat, wants NPR, her dad, Denny wants Frank Sinatra, her little brother, Teddy wants Spongebob and she just wants to hear classical music. When Mia closes her eyes for a second, her life had changed. She sees her car is eviscerated, all torn apart and destroyed. It was all quiet around her, except for Beethoven's Cello Sonata no.3. It still was playing from the car stereo. Frightened of her view, she searches for her parents and Teddy. Mia spots her father with a pipe in his jacket pocket. Next she finds her mother, who is left with no blood, has blue lips and red eyes. Her parents are both gone. Teddy was her only hope then, so she searches for him. Under the car, she finds an arm, but it wasn't Teddy's. It was her own lifeless arm. After a while, the ambulance and paramedics finally arrive. They pick up the pieces of their bodies and rush her to the hospital. She goes through many surgeries and doesn't know whether she should stay or not.What I Just Read
Mia's boyfriend, Adam Wilde, was playing in his rock band concert, and he gets the news about Mia being injured at the hospital. He rushes out as quickly as he could. Once he gets there, he wants to see Mia, but the nurse tells him that only family members are allowed to be with her. So then, he tells his band to distract the nurses for the longest time they can. They agree to it, but they didn't distract the nurses for enough time. Adam gets caught and almost gets sent to prison. But then, the nurses think that there is a chance that he can wake her up from the comma. So he is then with her in the room and tries his hardest to wake her up. He plays all of Mia's favorite music on his iPod and hopes that she will wake up. I really liked that part because it showed that Adam really loves her. He would do anythink for her.
