I do not usually prefer reading romantic novels as I feel
they have too much drama involved in them and they tend to go overboard with
love & sweet nothings. However, when my sister who too is an avid reader,
suggested If I Stay to me, I was undoubtedly a little put off for I was a
little finicky to read it. She did mention that it is not stereo-typically romantic,
and I wondered what else could it possibly be. So, I decided to give it a shot
& went ahead with it.
To my surprise, I got quite involved in the process of
flipping through the amazing novel & felt as if I’m Mia (The main character
of the book). Gayle Forman has beautifully written as to how it is to have an
out of the body experience & what it’ll be like to decide whether one
should choose to stay or pass on when there is no motive or anything left behind in your
life. A simplistic novel with characters that came out of the words and became
a part of my life, which doesn't happen while I read a dramatic novel.
Now, let’s come to what I deciphered from the book. The
value of relationships in one’s life; be it love, family, friends. Everything holds
its own place and is important in its own way. We definitely cannot weigh what’s
more important to us. I understood that even if there’s nothing left behind,
there is still one reason to hold and stay back. Very few people recognize &
identify that, and that’s all it takes to realize the sole reason for your
survival.
So, guys go ahead and give it a read to get a deeper
understanding on relationships & life together. Kudos to Gayle Forman for
the work.
