If I Stay and Where She Went



AUTHOR: Gayle Foreman

For all 3 of you who read my blog, you'll know I have a fondness for books.
If you're my husband, you might call it an obsession, whatever, "TOMAYTOES, TOMAHTOES".

If I Stay and Where She Went are books I've read a couple of times and really, I love them.

If I Stay is a story about a girl named Mia who plays the Cello. Her family is in a brutal accident, and throughout the entire story she's in a coma, going over her life, deciding if she wants to stay alive or let go.
DEEP RIGHT?

Where She Went is written 5 years later from the point of view of her boyfriend Adam in If I Stay.
It's a good conclusion to the first book, but writing about it will give the entire thing away, and well if I do that, you wont read it will you ?
And then I'll have no-one to talk about it too.

RECOMMENDATION: Read it and be moved.
RATING: A delish dinner at Carrabba's, my favourite, for both.They're a bit emotional, but if you need a cry, give it a go.

Any-one want to start an online book club ?

I really want to read both of them :) I would love to join but I am the type that has to read a book in one sitting so if I start to read I end up neglecting everyone and everything...not pretty...so I better just take one book at a time and give myself a month in between ;)
