Book to Screen: If I Stay by Gayle Forman
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9hZ40TJ0zs ~*~*~*~*~ I've never read If I Stay by Gayle Forman (mostly because I've heard that it'll make me cry).

Heather never thought she would compete in Panic, a legendary game played by graduating seniors, where the stakes are high and the payoff is [...]
