If I Stay

If I Stay is about a girl named Mia in modern times. Mia and her family were in a car accident and only two members of here family were left alive: her and her brother, Teddy. Because Mia was conscious but not awake, she was rushed to the hospital near by and then Mercy-Flighted to another hospital. Currently, the setting is the hospital.

Mia is a ghost traveling around the hospital while her body is in the ICU. Mia watches her extended family come and go form the waiting room as she is contemplating letting herself wake up or letting herself slip away. During the operation, a nurse told her that it was up to her if she lived or died. How could she stay without her parents? How could she leave Adam?

The hospital is in Portland and it is a huge building. Mia is starting to get used the hospital because she knows how to navigate around each hallway. In the book it says," When they finally find an unlocked one, they sneak inside. They fumble around in the dark for a light switch. I hate to break it to them, but it's actually back out it the hall." This shows how she knows the building more a than Adam and Kim because she is able to recognize where the light switch is based on what room they are in.

In the next few chapters of If I Stay,  I think that Adam will finally find out a way to get into the ICU. He had been trying to find a way in for a while. I also think that in the near future she will find out what happened to Teddy. They were split apart when she was taken to the hospital in Portland. Eventually, I think that she will end up choosing whether she is going to live or die. I can not wait to see what happens next!
