"This sensitively written story of the power of love and loss presses all the right buttons . . . The intensity of feelings and tragic suddenness with which life changes will strike a chord with teenagers and the young at heart. Read it, as they say, and weep" * Daily Mail *
"This is a wonderful, beautiful book; so gripping, so wise and oh, so heart-breakingly painful"
"A compulsive read"
"This is a haunting and heartbreaking novel reminiscent of The Lovely Bones . . . Impossible to put down" * Bookseller *
"For the first few pages, If I Stay comes across like a light hearted story about a teenager, her love life and her kooky family, but from the moment Forman hits you with the devastatingly detached description of the aftermath of the crash, you know you've picked up something special" * The Bookbag *
