If I Stay

(3) Base Camp

Unless you're listening to classic Avril Lavigne—yes, we just put "classic" and "Avril Lavigne" in the same sentence—song lyrics usually aren't complicated. Mia loves music, and she includes many references to musicians, songs, and even lyrics in her narration. Knowing the pop culture references is the most difficult thing about reading this book, because Mia's voice is as easy to understand as your average pop song. And if you don't know what songs she's talking about, there's always YouTube to help you jam out to her favorite tunes to enhance your reading experience.
