Publisher's summary

In a single moment, everything changes. Seventeen-year-old Mia has no memory of the accident; she can only recall riding along the snow-wet Oregon road with her family. Then, in a blink, she finds herself watching as her own damaged body is taken from the wreck.

A sophisticated, layered, and heartachingly beautiful story about the power of family and friends, the choices we all make - and the ultimate choice Mia commands.

©2009 Dutton Juvenile (P)2009 Penguin

I LOVED THIS STORY

If I had the option to give this book more stars I would. I would recommend this book to a hopeless romantic, like me. This was worth EVERY PENNY!!! I finished this book in two days. And I know for sure I will read this again, and again, and again!

I especially love how the narrator (the person who is reading you the story) gives passion to every word, and she sounds like she really means this book.

I would say this is a love it or hate it book, but I can't imagine anyone hating this book. Again I definitely recommend this book.

What are you waiting for, BUY THIS BOOK!!!

Beautiful

I couldn't stop listening to it. I loved how the author describes one's love for music and how it brought Mia and Adam together. I have to admit I cried more than once. It was a wonderful book.

good story

I enjoyed the story but the voices were over dramatic and sounded cheesy, which took away from the story.

Emotional amazement

The way it is read and written is in sync with each other. I really enjoyed this book but I will warn that you will cry. I love this book.

Touching

I enjoyed this book despite the sad basis for the story. My only complaint is that the narrator did not sound like she was 17 years old and that took me out of the story a little bit. Otherwise it was very good
