If I Stay…A Movie Review

I was lucky enough to score screening tickets for If I Stay 2 weeks before the movie came out thanks to a heads up email from Anna (thanks Anna!).

Although I didn’t love it as much as Just One Day, I really enjoyed Willem’s story which turned out to be a year of growth and changes. Just One Year is the companion to Just One Day. I say companion because although it has the […]
