Reviewed by Hannah, age 13

If I Stay messes with your emotions, in a good way. It has you rooting for a life that is on the line, it has you biting your nails as you turn the pages. This book will leave you in tears, not full on sobbing like The Fault In Our Stars, but enough to make rethink what you take for granted.

If I Stay is an emotional and inspiring book that will leave you begging for more. Beautifully written, Gayle Forman captures your heart as you read a young woman’s fight for something worth living for.
