if i stay- Gayle Forman

This book is riveting. A family gets into a car accident, leaving all but one dead. Mia, a seventeen year old girl, has to decide whether she wants to "stay" in this world, or leave it to be with the rest of her family.

The point of view is reminiscent of The Lovely Bones with how Mia sees everything happening around her. It's another YA quick read, but it has a power to move you. The sequel to if i stay, is where she went. On the book cover, it has a review from USA Today, saying it "will appeal to fans of Stephenie Meyer's TWILIGHT", which, I don't really get. Yes, I'm a fan of Meyer's, but I don't see much of a correlation, so if you're not a fan of Twilight, don't let that dissuade you from reading this book.
