Hello. If I Stay is not only intended for Mia right? Is it also intended for Adam? Or is it just my theory? Because honestly, before I start reading If I Stay, I have this feeling that it was intended for Adam. Anyway, to make a choice is the hardest decision in our life. From your own experience, what's the hardest choice you ever made and why? Thank you. #AllTheFeels

(view spoiler)[You're right in that the decision that Mia makes is really both of their decisions because Adam is the one who begs her to stay and though she doesn't stay because of him alone, had he not made that plea, she may well have chosen a different path. One reason I wanted to write the sequel, Where She Went, from Adam's perspective, was to look at the ramifications of that promise he made to her. The entire book is really about that.
As for the hardest choice I ever made, that's personal, though I will say that sometimes you don't realize that something was the hardest choice until after you made it and have to live with the consequences. (hide spoiler)]

Gayle Forman:
I noticed that the one common thing between Adam & Willem (besides both being ridiculously hot) is that they're stage performers: Adam being a musician while Willem's a theater actor. Was this something that you've planned from the beginning when you wrote them, or was it influenced by the fact that you are married to a musician, thus you have already an insight on what goes on in the lives of such characters?
