NeutralI'm going to go with Adam from the If I Stay duology. I didn't mind Adam in If I Stay. Like I thought he was an okay character.
If I Stay (2009)
Others: Overwhelmingly positive 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

Where She Went
Gayle Forman
2011 · 284 pages · 2 reviews
Others: MixedIt's been three years since the devastating accident . . . three years since Mia walked out of Adam's life forever. Now living on opposite coasts, Mia is Juilliard's rising star and Adam is LA tabloid fodder, thanks to his new rock star status and celebrity girlfriend. When Adam gets stuck in New York by himself, chance brings the couple together again, for one last night. As they explore the city that has become Mia's home, Adam and Mia revisit the past and open their hearts to the future - and each other. Told from Adam's point of view in the spare, lyrical prose that defined If I Stay, Where She Went explores the devastation of grief, the promise of new hope, and the flame of rekindled romance.

Others: MixedBefore. Miles “Pudge” Halter is done with his safe life at home. His whole life has been one big non-event, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave “the Great Perhaps” even more (Francois Rabelais, poet). He heads off to the sometimes crazy and anything-but-boring world of Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. Because down the hall is Alaska Young. The gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young. She is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart. Then. . . . After. Nothing is ever the same.

Loved iti just read this book this year and it really moved me to tears which is saying a lot because i'm not really a book crier there are just so many quotes in this book about life and the meaning of life and the importance of friends and family so this definitely gets points for being very emotional and very thought provoking
Loved itit is so heart-wrenching because she's left an orphan from this car accident and she has to decide if she wants to survive or if she just wants to die because what else is left for her on the earth
Loved itThe last book I read by her was If I Stay and I enjoyed that one just as much as this one
