Am I the only one who isn't in love with this one? I'm about a quarter of the way through it, but I'm struggling.
I feel like I said a curse word in church admitting this.

    I'll have to look at my Kindle to see my notes ::puts on nerd glasses::

    Granted, I'm not finished with it, so all of this can change, but so far it's a lot of back stories into the character, and everything feels too perfect. Perfect family. Perfect boyfriend. Perfect talent.
    I don't connect with her.

    Definitely keep reading.  I didn't like it at first but in the end, I felt is was a really good book.

    I loved it from the first 10 pages... but it's so short, finish it and see what you think of the whole thing.

    I feel like I'm too emotional about this book right now to answer constructively.

    So I'll just say...what @Hoycie said.

    I think the reason I didn't like it could have been because I started it on audiobook and I did not like the narrators.  Once I actually started reading it, I couldn't put it down.

    Keep reading! The sequel/companion novel, Where She Went, is awesome. And I liked it even more than I did If I Stay.

    Interesting, I remembered not liking it but couldn't pinpoint why.  I just checked goodreads and I listened to it too, I wonder if that had something to do with it.

    I have this on my TBR list, but have not looked at it much. I just have seen a lot of positive reviews on here about it.
