My opinion:
Well, «If I Stay» is one of my favorite
books, why? Because I’ve been
through a lot of emotions while
reading it, I’ll explain myself:
-I liked the fact that we go
back and forth between Mia’s
memories and the present.
-The author shows us an aspect
of love that I really like, how it can
be translated differently from
the «regular lovers» kind of love
to another love such as family’s
love and friends love which can
be very strong and deep, and
she shows us how hard it is to
lose people we love and care
about and how we can learn to
live with that.
-We follow Mia’s life choice
struggle and how she decides
to wake up or not, we see her
point of view and the others
point of views which is something
I really liked to read, everyone
of them shows an emotion and
a memory so the whole book is
more like a puzzle to me, each
character had some pieces to
put together with the others to
complete the puzzle and for me
the author used that to refer to
life and how everyone can give
a little something so it will be
there in our lives !
-Simplicity was a thing that I kept
in mind through the whole book,
it was a simple and a good read
for me, it gave me an impact
but without being rough, how
we can easily imagine and be
in each scene!!!
-Yes, because it has music in it,
it’s also a reason why I loved the
book, there were some parts
where Mia describes the feeling
she had while playing the Cello
that just moved me so much,
Adam was also very passionate
with music and his band and
I really loved that connection
between them through music.
-Never judge a book by its
movie …. NEVER!!! Even if the
movie was good/okay for some
people, I thought that It was a
little different from the book but
it’s a movie so they have to take
some from the book and add
some of their own touch!
So to note the book: 5/4 stars!
Well dear Readers hope you
liked this first review!!! Enjoy
your reading and don’t forget
