Lidah Larsen’s Reviews > If I Stay > Status Update

In the first couple pages I read I didn’t find the book to be as enrapturing as I thought it’d be. In these pages I find Mia’s attitude towards being in the in-between-state of not quite alive but not quite dead either unusual and calm instead of dramatic and rushed. I feel she’s too calm and finds this too normal and the way the book’s written it feels like Mia is detached from the pain that surrounds her.
