If I stay book summary Mia has wonderful family members that are in love with music and support her for the interest and talent in playing the cello. Everything seems satisfying until Mia and her family faced a deadly car accident. Her body is seriously damaged and she immediately goes into a coma. Mia’s dad and mom die at the scene, and her little brother is in a critical condition, too. In the coma, she’s in a state of ghost. Mia watches her own body attached with so many tubes; she watches people visit and go; she hears people she loves talking to her; she feels how deeply they want her back. Mia has to choose to stay or leave, when both choices are full of sacrifice. Mia’s relationships are really big parts that affect her choice. Her boyfriend Adam and close friend Kim are the most important people besides her family. She wants to give up and leave so many times that she almost does, but her passion and desire for music and her boyfriend’s deep love wake her up in the end of the story.
