Book: "If I Stay"

      Hey there! So i wanna talk about a book that i read recently (finished reading it yesterday actually), and that book is "If I Stay". I was very excited about this book because a lot of my friends had recommended it to me and i was getting more and more curious, until i gave in and decided to read it.
     When i started it, i though this was going to be a book about teenage love, compromised when she, Mia, got involved in a car accident and everything changed; but i was positively surprised when, as i read it, i understood it actually involved far more complicated topics, and not only teenage love, but love in general. I don't want to give anything away to those who want to read it, but this a tragic story and at some points makes you think about what you have and makes you value it a lot more.
    Personally, i like the way the book is put together, specially because throughout the whole book the author carefully integrates analogies between the past and the present, giving insight of Mia's life before and during the tragedy, which made it even more sad witnessing how one day everything is good and the next day life takes an unexpected turn and takes everything you took for granted away, not leaving love and tough choices out of the picture.
     In general, this is, in my opinion, a very good book and i definitely recommend it. It's sad, but somehow finds its way to involve some humor, to lighten the mood sometimes, and it's of very easy reading. Oh, and it may involve some tears!

PS: I haven't watched to movie, but i intend to soon. When i do, i'll post about my opinions on both the movie and its relationship with the book.
