If I Stay (If I Stay, #1)

by Gayle Forman

But the you who you are tonight is the same you I was in love with yesterday, the same you I’ll be in love with tomorrow. I love that you’re fragile and tough, quiet and kick-ass. Hell, you’re one of the punkest girls I know, no matter who you listen to or what you wear.

“I just think that funerals are a lot like death itself. You can have your wishes, your plans, but at the end of the day, it’s out of your control.

I shouldn’t have to care. I shouldn’t have to work this hard. I realize now that dying is easy. Living is hard.

Sometimes you make choices in life and sometimes choices make you. Does that make any sense?
