Both of these titles have had a ton of press. If I Stay by Gail Forman was optioned for film before it was even on library shelves and My Abandonment is a very literary ripped from the headlines about a father and daughter duo who live in the woods. But creepier than I just made it sound.
Anyway, If I Stay was good except I found the plot very predictable. But the characters made it special. The main character is a cellist so that was a nice surprise. I love reading books where the cellist is not a huge dork but a fully fleshed out person. The parents were great too.
My Abandonment was too literary for me I'm afraid. It was a very interesting concept, however.
