About the story

What starts as a family car trip on a rare snowy day in Oregon, turns into a horrible tragedy for Mia and her family. Mia has everything, great parents, a fun little brother, a wonderful boyfriend, and the possibility to go to Juilliard to study cello. Her only dilemma is - should she follow her music if it takes her to Juilliard, or should she stay in Oregon with her family and friends. After the tragedy Mia needs to decide if she will awake from her coma or not.

My opinion

This was an incredibly moving story, with believable characters that could make you laugh and cry. The story also made you look at your life and think about what you might decide to do if you were in Mia's situation. I will definitely recommend this book to all of my friends.
