If I Stay
Mia (Chloë Grace Moretz) is a 17-year-old gifted cellist with a loving family and boyfriend (Jamie Blackley) as well an amazing career ahead of her. That all changes in an instant when Mia and her family are involved in a horrible car accident.
Rushed to ICU, hovering between life and death, Mia has an out-of-body experience as she lies in a coma. She finds out her parents died in the accident and watches as her extended family and friends come to visit her in the hospital. She soon realizes she has a choice to make—wake up to a life that will be more difficult than she had ever imagined—or let go and die.
Based on the young adult novel by Gayle Forman.
