her coma, she is trying to figure out weather she should stay her with her grandparents her Best friend and the love of her life, Adam or to just let go, and not bear the pain living without her loving parents and her brother, she has to use these mermories to make her choice. The book is narratived by Mia as she expences flashbacks and meriories that are descirbeing here happy and bubbly life before the accident. If I stay had and on the edge and sad plot making me want to read every second of the day.
The reason I enjoyed this book is because I liked the main storyline of the book, about how it focuses on Mia’s desition on wether she will choose to live or to go. The flashbacks she has during her coma, comes as she see’s or here’s news about about a loved one. I also really liked the strong relationship Mia and Adam,their passon and surrport for each other dreams in music was very touching and gave me a tingly feeling,there relationship was able to bring out the main theme of the book in a clear effective way.“If you stay, I’ll do whatever you want. I’ll quit the band; go with you to New York. But if you need me to go away, I’ll do that too. .. And that would suck, but I’ll do it. I can lose you like that, if I don’t lose you today. I’ll let you go. If you stay.” The quote is said by Adam, this quotes shows how much he needs Mia to stay with him,he says he will do anything for her. It shows how much he loves her and how much he won’t want her to leave him. Mia and Adam have this speical conection, and Adam doesn’t want to lose that spark they have.
The main theme of if I stay is that if love is strong enough it will last through anything, no matter what the circumstances or situation is.
I amaried Mia for pushing through and choosing to stay with Adam and the rest of her extanded family and friends. You would need alot of couage to make a descion like that.“Love, it never dies. It never goes away, it never fades, so long as you hang on to it. Love can make you immortal” This quote by Mia is a very powerful quote and it sums up what she went through in one sentence. What I think she means by this is that love is such a powerful thing to her and as long as people love and support her she can go through with anything.
Another theme protaied in this text is being strong. Being strong is an imporent message to protaiy as many people in this generation we live in have to be strong in many situations wether it be a socail or gobel issue. In the novel it is shown by Mia always being different like in her family, they all love rock music, expept Mia who have a real passion for classical music. Also her boyfriend Adam is in a band and all of his friends our very different to her, and she struggles to fit in. “If I felt like a fish out of water in my family, I felt like a fish on Mars in Adam’s circle.” This quote shows Mias feelings towards the whole situation, it shows that she feels quiet sad about the situation due to she is so different to all the people she knows, it shows she’s strong because she over comes this socail issue on a daily
baseus.
Overall I found this book very interesting to read, one of the reasons I loved this book so much was the relationship between Mia and Adam, because it was a very realiestic realationship, so it made the book seem real, because of the emotions displayed in the text. Sometimes this book made me feel very sad, and I crying many times will reading it,the emotion in the book really hit me hard, but I thought that was I good thing because the author was able to get those feelings across and make me feel that way.
