Review

I saw a lot of reviews for the story floating around the blogosphere and naturally being the reader that i am, i had to check it out for myself. I saw alot of smililairities in If I Stay and books like Elsewhere and The Lovely Bones and you know i love those two books! So when i read If I Stay i expected myself to immedietly jump into it. I did and by page 16 i was jumping up and down in my room and trying not to hyperventilate from how good it was! If I Stay can sometimes make you laugh and then sometimes make you cry...the ending expecially! There was so much heart in the book that i found myself crying like a little baby at the end! My stepmom looked at me like i was an idiot but oh i didnt care! In the middle though, i hate to say, it kind of trudged along not really going anywhere but that ended shortly and the highly climatic ending certaintly made up for that!! If I Stay was a great book and i'm glad i desided to pick this one up!
