if_i_stayA new giveaway — just in time for the holidays! I have one hardcover copy of Gayle Forman’s If I Stay – a very moving young adult novel – up for grabs.

You’ve probably heard rumblings about this book all over the blogosphere — and right here on write meg!, too. I reviewed the book in November and have thought about it many times since.

If I Stay is the story of 17-year-old Mia, the lone survivor of a car crash that claimed the lives of her family one snowy day in Oregon. As she moves in and out of consciousness following the accident, she realizes she’s caught in between two worlds — and that she has a choice. Does she leave this world to rejoin her family, giving up every dream and hope her parents helped her develop, or does she return to a life without them?

If it sounds powerful, that’s because it is. And now you can read it too!
