If I Stay - Gayle Forman

Everybody has to make choices. Some might break you. For seventeen-year-old Mia, surrounded by a wonderful family, friends and a gorgeous boyfriend decisions might seem tough, but they're all about a future full of music and love, a future that's brimming with hope. But life can change in an instant. A cold February morning ...a snowy road ...and suddenly all of Mia's choices are gone. Except one. As alone as she'll ever be, Mia must make the most difficult choice of all. Gripping, heartrending and ultimately life-affirming, "If I Stay" will make you appreciate all that you have, all that you've lost - and all that might be.

One Moment One Morning - Sarah Rayner

The 07.44 Train from Brighton to London, Carriages are packed with commuters. One occupies her time observing the people around, when she notices that the man opposite collapses, the train is stopped and an ambulance called.  Then everything changes. A wife, loosing her husband. A friend helping her cope with the lose, whilst also putting up with someone who doesn't deserve the time, and a new friend who helps them both grieve.
