The cover it self is beautiful, and the synopsis is very intriguing. I've read "If I stay" by this author before, and I really loved it. This book, so far, however, was just okay. I can't really pinpoint why exactly I didn't like this. The writing was good, lyrical even, in a odd sort of way, but in a good way. The characters so far, were fine, but maybe it was because it's only the first 35 pages, I couldn't get into the story.
