If I Stay--Review

Having just finished Gayle Forman's novel, If I Stay, I must say it's one of the best written books I've read in awhile. It's one of those stories that keeps you hooked until the last page, never knowing for certain which way the story is going to sway. Will Mia stay and go to Juilliard, get married some day and play the cello in front of a large audience some day? Or will she go to be with her family who are already lost? For you criers out there, this one is a tearjerker, so keep a box of kleenexes close by.
Speaking of novels I've managed to write over 2,000 words in the last two days, woohoo! It figures I am more productive in my writing on my days of from work. This puts me at a word count of approximately 20,000 words, halfway to the goal! This is my first novel, so after I finish begins the search for an agent and publication. I'm glad to finally be getting serious about my writing!
