About this listen

'Just listen,' Adam says with a voice that sounds like shrapnel. I open my eyes wide now. I sit up as much as I can. And I listen. 'Stay,' he says.

Everybody has to make choices. Some might break you.

For 17-year-old Mia, surrounded by a wonderful family, friends and a gorgeous boyfriend, decisions seem tough, but they're all about a future full of music and love, a future that's brimming with hope.

But life can change in an instant. A cold February morning...a snowy road...and suddenly all of Mia's choices are gone.

Except one. As alone as she'll ever be, Mia must make the most difficult choice of all.

Gripping, heart-rending and ultimately life-affirming, If I Stay will make you appreciate all that you have, all that you've lost - and all that might be.

Heartbreaking

If I Stay is one of the most emotionally touching books I've ever read/listened to. The characters are well developed and the author does a fantastic job of making you care about the protagonists. The language is a beautiful mix of precise & poetic and the story really does burrow down into your soul. I now can't wait to read the next book in the series and see the film.

Gripping

I watched the film and then when my friend recommend the book I just could not deny it. It's a really easy read. Fished it in 2 days. I would totally recommend it!

Superb

Story was fabulous. I loved the way it was told and it worked really well as an audio book. The narrator was excellent. Couldn't stop thinking about what happened next!

Nice story, just not A fan of the narration style

I enjoyed the story , but the narration was just a bit too animated for my liking. Therefore as a result, sometimes , i found it hard to take the story seriously, despite the amount of sadness in it

Quite outstanding

This audio book is exceptional both in terms of the heart-wrenching story by Gayle Foreman and the superb quality of the narration by Kirsten Potter.

I have absolutely no doubts about thoroughly recommending this to listeners.

Sad and moving

I bought this audio as lot of people had recomended it as a good follow on to the lovely bones. It's a nice listen but no where near as good as the lovely bones. It is about a girl who goes in to a coma and has to deside if she would like to come back, while in a coma she remembers things about her family and her brothers birth as well as her friends and ultimately decides if she should stay.

An amazing experience

I loved the book book and the experience with this app and only came across one problem with the experience. This was that when I first bought the book it wasn't downloading properly. Apart from that the book was amazing and when the book was downloaded it work wonderfully.
