Hello!
So I have a confession. I am an absolute hopeless romantic. My capacity to watch cheesy rom-coms and Disney movies has no bounds, I solemnly believe in true love, and the idea of receiving a spontaneous bunch of flowers gets me all kinds of excited. So, there was no doubt that I would absolutely love the new movie 'If I Stay'. Now, as mentioned previously I prefer to read the book before watching the movie, and this time there was no exception. However, while I am in the midst of assignments and exams I chose to download the audiobook, so I could listen to it while transiting to Uni every day (best decision ever)... and I loved it! Now, this may sound totally cliché but I honestly, laughed, cried, and beamed with happiness while both listening and watching this beautiful story.
As a quick, brief summary, I have enlisted the help of Wikipedia (remember kids, Wikipedia is not a reliable source for academic research):
"Mia Hall thought the hardest decision she would ever face would be whether to pursue her musical dreams at Juilliard or follow a different path to be with the love of her life, Adam. But what should have been a carefree family drive changes everything in an instant, and now her own life hangs in the… More balance. Caught between life and death for one revealing day, Mia has only one decision left, which will not only decide her future but her ultimate fate." - Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia
I am now re-listening to 'If I Stay' (written by Gale Foreman) and I must say, there are so many little details that you can miss during your first reading. I've never realised this before, always thinking that once the book is read, you loose that precious first-impression...but I was wrong. I actually really want to go and watch the movie again too...maybe I'll just have to buy the dvd when it comes out!
