IF I STAY by Gayle Forman

Synopsis (via Goodreads)

Just listen, Adam says with a voice that sounds like shrapnel. 

I open my eyes wide now. 

I sit up as much as I can. 

And I listen. 

Stay, he says. 

Choices. Seventeen-year-old Mia is faced with some tough ones: Stay true to her first love—music—even if it means losing her boyfriend and leaving her family and friends behind?
Then one February morning Mia goes for a drive with her family, and in an instant, everything changes. Suddenly, all the choices are gone, except one. And it's the only one that matters.
If I Stay is a heartachingly beautiful book about the power of love, the true meaning of family, and the choices we all make.

Fallen

Now, I don't know if you lot have heard but Fallen by Lauren Kate is currently in the process of being made into a movie! I only found out yesterday and I'm still a little giddy from the news. 

Filming has already begun and the blockbuster is due to hit our screens some point next year. The cast include, Addison Timlin as Luce - you might know her from Californication and Zero Hour. The one and only Jeremy Irvine as Daniel - think Now is Good and War Horse. As well as Harrison Gilbertson - AWESOME name by the way - as Cam! 

The film itself is directed by Scott Hicks, now if you didn't know he is responsible for The Lucky One featuring one Mr Zac Efron.

Story Line (via IMDb)

"There's something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori. Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price's attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at Sword & Cross boarding school. Except Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce - he goes out of his way to make that very clear. But she can't let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, Luce has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret. Ever if it kills her."

The last decade has seen so many YA book make there way to the cinema screen. From Percy Jackson to Twilight, The Mortal Instruments to Beautiful Creatures. I think it's because they're so full of vivid characters and engaging story plots, not to mention a huge enthusiastic fan base! This year is no different with several YA books making there way to the big screen, with sequels and a couple of new faces.
Bellow are the two I'm most excited about. John Green's The Fault in our Stars, which I read at the end of 2012 after my flatmate recommended it and also Divergent, which by now you all know I'm a little obsessed with.

Fault In Our Stars, book by John Green (4 out of 5)

Divergent, Veronica Roth (5 out of 5)
