If I Stay by Gayle Forman

I cried - I'm not ashamed to admit it. And it was worth every minute! I consumed this book in a sitting; it's just that good.

In an instant, Mia's life changes. She was napping in the car, and never saw the accident - only the aftermath. She knows her parents are dead. Where is her brother? She sees a hand - then realizes it's her own. Wait: how is that possible?

Mia's not in pain, and she's not dead. Nobody can see her, and she can move around pretty freely, but she's not a ghost. What is she? And why?

This is absolutely one of the best books I've read: funny, personal, and thought-provoking.

I don't want to give too much away ... just read it! Trust me.
