On
a snow-dusted morning, Mia and her family pile into the family car and
head to visit relatives. But they never arrive there. Instead, Mia
sees the horrors of a car accident that left her parents dead and her
younger brother Teddy in a hospital. Mia can't believe she wasn't
harmed in the accident that killed her parents... Until she finds her
own body and realizes she was. And she is seeing everything from
outside herself.
While in the hospital, Mia comes to realizes she
is still here because she gets to choose if she stays. And so Mia
spends the following 24 hours remembering, pondering, and deciding.
Does she stay with the friends, boyfriend, and hopes of the future
(Julliard, graduation, possibly marriage one day)? Or does she let go
and join her family, for before long, she learns she's even lost her
little brother.
Only Mia can choose. And the choice is not an easy one.
***So
this was a quick read. I just didn't like it. I didn't care for a lot
of the behaviors condoned in the novel and felt irritated by a lot of
it. I don't plan on reading the sequel.
