If I Stay by Gayle Forman

Out of body experiences!!! How many of you believe this stuff can really happen? Well for Mia, it is happening right now. What started out as a regular day with her family in Oregon has a drastic turn of events. In Oregon a little snow gets Mia and her little brother, Teddy a snow day. Since their Dad is a teacher, he gets the day off too. Mom does not want to be left out and takes the day off also. The snow is not bad enough to keep them home, so they take off in the car to visit the grandparents and friends. On the way, the family is involved in a serious car accident and Mia is the only survivor with terrible injuries. Mia leaves her body and we follow her from the accident scene to the hospital and she tells us everything that is happening and while she is trying to figure out how this stuff works, she is reflecting back on her life, her family, her boyfriend. Why is she reflecting? Mia needs to make the decision on if she wants to stay alive and return to her body and deal with the loss of her family or should she just let go and join them in death. If you want to find out what Mia decides, you will need to pick up "If I Stay" by Gayle Forman and read it.
