“If you stay, I'll do whatever you want. I'll quit the band, go with you to New York. But if you need me to go away, I'll do that, too. I was talking to Liz and she said maybe coming back to your old life would be too painful, that maybe it'd be easier for you to erase us. And that would suck, but I'd do it. I can lose you like that if I don't lose you today. I'll let you go. If you stay.” --Adam Wilde (If I Stay)
Ini cuplikan kalimat yang diucapkan Adam, pemeran utama cowok di novel If I Stay-nya Gayle Forman. Sukses bikin gue nangis bombay, soalnya dia ngucapin kalimat ini waktu Mia (pacarnya) nggak sadar-sadar karena kecelakaan. Bayangkan....bayangkan.....
Buku ini terbitnya udah lama, kok. Gue dapet buku ini waktu ulang tahun pas 2011 dari Shabrina. Awalnya pas gue baca agak bingung soalnya alurnya maju mundur, terus gue baca lagi ternyata bagus juga. Sedih... Cowoknya setia banget. Banget. Jadi pengen (?)

Ternyata If I Stay ada lanjutannya lho!
Judulnya Where She Went. Buku yang kedua ini menceritakan tentang kisah Mia dan Adam ketika Mia udah sembuh dari kecelakaannya. Mereka berpisah bagus deh jadi Adam single. Tapi Adam udah rela kan kalau harus melepaskan Mia? "I'll let you go. If you stay." katanya.

Kalau buku yang pertama POV-nya Mia, kalau yang ini POV-nya Adam si cowok band nan cool itu. Salut banget sama perjuangannya dia. Mau tau perjuangan untuk apa? Makanya baca!
“There are so many things that demand to be said. Where did you go? Do you ever think about me? You've ruined me. Are you okay? But of course, I can't say any of that.”--Adam Wilde (Where She Went)
So tell me, tell me; Is there any guy like him? Loving a girl so desperately like Adam loves Mia?
