If I Stay by Gayle Forman
4.0
Reread review:
Still precious, but the bad thing about rereading is that I spent the whole book thinking, "Aww yiss, almost to the sequel!!" This must just be a thing that happens when the sequel is better than the first book. Not that you see it happen very often! And not that this one isn't great. It's just, the sequel is nngggh.

Review:
I finished this, and my Kindle appears to have died. I think it's a sign!
But, yes. Sweet and depressing. The last few pages made me cry, and I had been so proud of not getting teary before then. Bah!
