"If I Stay" is a book by Gayle Forman that is about Mia Hall, a 17 year old girl. Mia finds herself in a tragic accident that occurs in her family. Her and her brother, Teddy, are Mercy-Flighted to the hospital. Her parents were killed on impact. Mia is not in her torn and broken body but she is somewhat like a ghost. She is in a perfectly healthy body watching her body get treatment.
Mia is an exceptional cello player. She started young and has been doing it for 10 years. Her family is divided in their preferences of music. Mia has always been drawn to classical music and her brother, at the age of 8, has always liked SpongeBob Square Pants. Their parents like a variety of different genres. When the accident happened, Beethoven's Cello Sonata no. 3 was playing.
Mia's boyfriend, Adam, is part of a rock band called the "Shooting Stars." Mia explains that Adam is the kind of guy that you would never picture with a girl like Mia. They both have hidden stacks of records under their beds.
Mia is faced with a decision no one should ever have to make: she has to decide whether to live the rest of her life without her parents but with Adam or to let herself go.
