Mia has a happy content life. She loves her music, her boyfriend, friends and family. On a snow day, her family decides to go for a drive, and in one moment, her dad loses control of the car and everything changes. Suddenly, she's outside of the car and she sees that her mom and dad didn't make it, and she runs over to her little brother Teddy, when she realizes it's not him, it's Mia. Now she's in the hospital watching the rest of her family, friends, and boyfriend beg her to stay. Knowing that her life is irreversibly changed, that she'll never go back to the life that she led, because it's gone, Mia must decide to stay with the family she has left or try to find the family that's gone.
What a heartbreaking, moving story. Honestly? I can see why Holly loves young adult now, and I'm kicking myself for not reading them sooner. The last few books I've read have been young adult and they're amazingly evocative and deal with some very very hard hitting issues and pack a wollop of a punch in them. This book is one that will stand out and stay with me for quite a while to come.
