If I Should Stay Roxanne Kelly

IF I SHOULD STAY is one of the greatest love stories between an older woman and a younger man that has ever been told. It is the love story of Sheila, a restless 50-year-old divorced empty-nester, and Dylan, a kind-hearted 18-year-old college student with artistic aspirations. Refreshingly, this love story is portrayed in a way that is real, heartfelt, sexy, and thoughtful. Why does this type of romance always involve awful stereotypes and tropes? Why is SHE always a sex-crazed cougar, a diabolical mother figure, or a desperate housewife? Why is HE always a social misfit, a shy awkward virgin, or an oedipal mama's boy? Instead, Sheila and Dylan are relatable and likeable, and their love is true. IF I SHOULD STAY is a genuine love story, unapologetically romantic, very sexy, and ultimately heartbreaking. It is also a reminder that being fully alive is rarely about being perfectly secure and comfortable. Sometimes to save yourself you must risk it all for what your heart desires. Be prepared to be swept away..
