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

Interesting peek into the choice

I didn't know what to expect but felt this story might be better approached as a book than as a movie so I got it. Glad I did. Good story arc and familiar characters. Not long winded or too compact.

Amazingly good

It's a very good book. I wish that it had a longer ending and would tell me what happened to every one else. but it still is an amazing book.

Good book , horrible audio quality

I loved the book but the audio quality was so very poor. It seemed to have an echo effect through out most of it

Good quick read

It’s a good book for the most part. Quick read and listen. It is a good sequel to the first book. It was great to hear the male protagonist side of the story. I gotta say that the narrator is what made this a good read for me again. Great job!
