If I Stay is a young adult novel by Gayle Forman published in 2009. The story follows 17-year-old Mia as she deals with the aftermath of a catastrophic car accident involving her family. In a coma, Mia has an out-of-body experience, and watches as friends and family gather at the hospital where she is being treated. Mia watches as her memories flash before her eyes as she comes to realize that she must decide if she is to wake up and lead a life far more difficult than she ever anticipated, or to slip away and die. It has received widely positive reviews. A sequel hit shelves in April 2011, entitled Where She Went. A film version, directed by R. J. Cutler, is set to be released on August 22, 2014, starring Chloë Grace Moretz, Mireille Enos, Joshua Leonard and Stacy Keach.
