Mia lives with her parents and younger brother,Teddy. Her parents were total punk rockers when they were younger, but that's not Mia's scene. She's a classical girl and plays the cello. So it's even more surprising when she falls for a rocker. Everything is great until... Mia's family is in a terrible accident - her parents are killed immediately, she and Teddy go to different hospitals. Mia's left between life and death, with a decision to make, stay or go. The story goes back and forth between the hospiatl - what Mia sees and hears - and her life before. I love Mia. She's dedicated to her music, yet has a well-rounded life. She's fun, spontaneous, selfish, worried...all the things that real girls are. This isn't just a story about Mia and her choosing to stay or go. It's a love story. See, her boyfriend, Adam is at the hospital and he's begging her to stay. Can she leave Adam behind? Adam, who understands her and her music? Adam, who truly gets her? It's a difficult choice and she doesn't have long to decide. This book made me cray. Not just cry, but actually sob. Just writing the review made me cry. An absolutely stunning book, NPR's The Roundtable said it best, "This is an achingly beautiful story."
