By Angie Han/April 16, 2014 8:00 am EST

Directed by R.J. Cutler (The September Issue) and based on the novel by Gayle Forman, If I Stay stars Moretz as a bright, talented teen who falls into a coma after a car accident kills the rest of her family. She’s faced with a choice — wake up an orphan and get about the hard work of moving on, or let go and die with her loved ones. Jamie Blackley plays her punk rock boyfriend, who may just give her something to live for.

For the past few years, the big trend in YA has been dystopian thrillers. Before that, it was paranormal romances, and before that, it was fantasy adventures. But between If I Stay and this June’s The Fault in Our Stars, the next one could be romantic tearjerkers.
