If I Stay

I was not impressed. After all the hype I heard about this book, I was looking for an engaging, heart rendering read and it didn't even come close. I feel as though this book was written backwards. The big incident occurs within the first few pages and then the memories come, laying a foundation after the tense moment. There needed to be a longer build up, allowing Mia and Adam to find a place in your heart instead of trying to capture the readers after the fact. I honestly didn't really care about Mia and Adam's situation until the last few pages. The only thing I found remotely interesting was the concept of Mia' s out of body experience. As these books are relatively short and the next one is from Adam's prospective I will give it a try.
