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

Awesome!

This book is a must! The setting is done so perfectly that you feel like you know the characters so well. It's not cluttered, which I like. The sequel is gonna be awesome :-)

Was too short

I was excited about this book. It was good but feel like it could have and should have went on for twice the length. The ending was boring and kinda left me regretting reading the book. I’m pretty sure there’s a second part but I’m disappointed it’s not all one.
