Happy Valentine's Day! And Review of "If You Stay" By Courtney Cole

So today is Valentine's Day!  I hope everyone has a wonderful day and if you're looking for a book to read I'm advising you to go out and get "If You Stay" by Courtney Cole.  This book is beyond extraordinary!  I was even mad that I got sick for 2 days and was to sick to even read!  I didn't want to put it down. This book was nothing like I expected and has easily become one of my favorites.

 

Pax is a character that you just can't help but fall in love with him almost from the very start. He's a bad boy who has issues that even he doesn't seem to understand.  He doesn't think he deserves to have Mila's love and that she's too good for him.  Even though he thinks this he still can't seem to just walk away from her.

Mila is your typical good girl.  She has trust issues and it takes Pax to get her past them.  I couldn't help but love Mila.  She is so strong.  And the entire time I read this book I couldn't help but think the saying by William Shakespear applied to her... "Though she be tiny, She be fierce".  It took a strong mind and heart to do some of the things she did during this book (I won't say bc I don't want to spoil it for anybody who hasn't read this book).

I liked that this book isn't your typical love story.  You know where they are perfect at first, then have a silly/big misunderstanding and break up for a while (not that I don't like those books because lord knows I do but I did like the change up this time), and then get back together.  This didn't follow that outline, it carried a more real life feel and I thoroughly enjoyed the change up.  I can't wait till the second book comes out in this series.  I'll be ready to know more about Pax and Mila but also to get to know Mila's sister Madison better.  Again, if you haven't read this book you are missing out.  Perfect valentine's present to yourself... and depending on your date... you might find it more entertaining!  :)

Courtney Cole is a amazing author.  Her writing style is just phenomenal.  She draws you in from the very beginning and makes you not want to put the book down and wish that it never ends.  I have read almost everything she has wrote and haven't been disappointed yet.  I don't think any of you will be either.  If you haven't read any of her books check out her webpage.... http://courtneycolewrites.com/ or look her up on Facebook. 

So have any of ya'll read this book yet?  If so what did ya'll think?
