How Received: library

A few minutes ago, her biggest decision was what to wear to her boyfriend's concert.

Now Mia watches as her body is slid into the ambulance. She has no recollection of the accident. All she can do is watch and wait as her body is flown off to a hospital; as they slide tubes into her body to keep her lungs inflated; as her friends and family rush around her, telling her to stay alive; as she finds out her mother and brother and father are long gone.

Now her biggest decision is to live or let go.

Was it good? Definitely.
Something particularly special? Not really.

Forman's use of flashbacks in this particular novel are excellently twirled into the story and gave it all more of a feel of being real. The characters were well developed and the story line interesting.

As a person with friends obsessed with music, I particularly loved the bits about the cello.

Overall Rating & Final Comments: 9/10. Though it was good, it wasn't anything spectacular - undoubtedly well written and worth reading, but not worth buying.

Short review for a short book.
