Over the past two weeks, I have started and finished Gayle Forman’s novel, If I Stay. This novel is 289 pages long. The plot of this book is about a family of four whose entire life revolves around music. Both of the parents have played music all of their lives, along with the teenager named Mia and the eight year old son named Teddy. This book takes place over one day and all of the events that occurred. The day started out as any other, and the family was going to visit their friends.

They did not know what they were supposed to do with her now that she did not have a family. They felt extremely bad for her, and were praying nonstop. The family was trying to abjure the truth of what they all knew was going to happen. Mia’s grandma was trying to cherish her granddaughter for the moments she had left with her. She wanted to see her beloved granddaughter as how she knew she was. “She works her way down, pulling the hair out from under the pillow so it streams down my chest, hiding some of the lines and tubes connected to me” (Forman 177). This is one of the other emotions that were present while reading Forman’s novel, If I Stay. These are three of the many emotions that were prevalent to me while reading Gayle Forman’s If I Stay. I am currently looking for another book that is similar to this one. I think that I should get a 9.5/10 on this journal because I feel that I tried my hardest to explain and connect the emotions throughout this
