[Gisbelle]

This thread is for the discussion of f I Stay by Gayle Forman.

Sorry for being late to post this. I was on holiday and I thought the other mods would have created the thread.

[Beatrice]

I love this book! Heartbreaking. Where She Went is better though.

[Gisbelle]

I am going to read it before the week is over.

[Beatrice]

<--- avoids spoiler. :)

[harshini]

I really need to read this! Will try to before the week gets over, or at least next week :)

[Kinsey]

I loved this book! I really need to read the rest of the next one. I only got about half way through :(

[Megan]

I don't know how I managed to not cry while reading this. Mia's family is so awesome. I completely fell in love with Adam. He had me at the moment he took Mia to see the cellist and wore creepers.

[Megan]

Just started it today, already half way done. I have to say that I love this book!

[Gisbelle]

I haven't started yet. I am going to start the book on Saturday.

[Beatrice]

Happy reading guys :)

[Andii]

I'll hopefully be buying it tomorrow. I can't wait to start it!

[Gisbelle]

Me too :) If only I hadn't started reading 2 books already :D

[Gisbelle]

I just started reading :) So far it looks promising. It is a bit short also, so I hope to get it done before Saturday afternoon :D

[Diana]

I just got this book too! I just read a little but it looks good.

[harshini]

I guess I will start on Sunday cause I am already reading something

[Sapir]

I've read If I Stay this month and I liked it very much. The idea is very deep and emotional. I love music, so the music in the book was a big plus for me...

[Tiffanie]

loved this book

[Gisbelle]

I am half way in the book now. And I have cried several times already.

[harshini]

A book that makes you cry is a good book :)

[Gisbelle]

I think so Harshini :) Only well written books can move me like that :D

[harshini]

Exactly, excited to read it now. I think I am gonna finish the book I am currently reading

[Gisbelle]

It is a short book, so I think if we really focus, we can finish in less than 4 hours. But I have a lot of unpacking to do :)

[harshini]

How was your trip? Yes it seems pretty small, maybe a Sunday would be fine for it :)

[Megan]

It is short. I read it straight through, but it's also pretty emotional, so breaks might be needed.

[Megan]

I got done last night with reading it. It was an emotional book but so worth reading, I loved it :)

[Sapir]

I agree, this book is way too short. I can't wait to read the sequel with you guys (:(:

[Diana]

Yeah I started it yesterday and I'm almost finished. Adam is so awesome. He's exactly the kind of boyfriend every girl wants.

The trip was fun :) I took a boat trip to an island and went to see a few art performances.

[Gisbelle]

I almost finish also :) I love everything about it so far!

[Gisbelle]

Kim is such a good friend, right?

[Andii]

I'm starting the book tonight. :) I can't wait!

[Diana]

Gisbelle wrote: "Kim is such a good friend, right?"

Yeah totally. I wish I have a friend like her.

[Gisbelle]

I just finished :) I liked it. Cannot wait to read book 2 :D

Oh so sorry..! My plans were suddenly made and I had to attend a wedding! I totally forgot! :(

[Gisbelle]

No problem :)

[Deepika]

I just adore Kim!! I mean I cried like a baby when I read (view spoiler)[“Losing me will hurt; it will be the kind of pain that won't feel real at first, and when it does, it will take her breath away.” (hide spoiler)]

I cried for days thinking about it! Still do...

[Gisbelle]

Oh my! That part made me cry also. :( Very emotional, right? I wish I had a friend like that. Guess I am not as lucky :(

[Diana]

Finished it! I liked it a lot especially the ending. Can't wait to read Where she went. I heard it was even better.

[Gisbelle]

I loved the ending also :) I loved the part that Adam came in the ICU. It was so touching :( I cried so many times reading this book lol...

[Beatrice]

Where She Went is better. It's really good :)

[Deepika]

I loved where she went too...

[Asser]

Agree with you Beatrice. I like Where She Went more than If I Stay. :)

[Beatrice]

Asser- Adam's POV :">

[Jessica]

Yeah I cried, and. I didn't even cry once, I cried twice in this book. I'm starting Where She Went Right Now!! & it's from Adan's POV. Please catch me as I faint.

I am glad that it was a short read. I hate when things get drawn out unnecessarily long. I loved how the past and present blended together and the ending was perfect.

[Gisbelle]

I am reading Where She Went next week :)

[harshini]

Almost done!!

[Gisbelle]

Go Harshini!!!!

[harshini]

Done! :) A pretty short read, it moved me for sure, and was thought-provoking book. But I wish it was longer! Looking forward reading the sequel :)

[Gisbelle]

What is your fave part?

[harshini]

Hmmm. I should say (view spoiler)[ I loved her memories, especially the ones about her family, I like family books, and all the nice things. The barbeque scene, the day she spent with her Gramps, and finally Halloween (hide spoiler)] The end was very good!
