 This was one of those books where I knew going into it that my heart would break. 
 I've been reading this for the last two days and I get now how easily it sucked me in. I've been so used to paranormal romances, action and adventure, that it's interesting for me to read about real things. This was a real scenario - a talented girl loses her entire family in one instant. It wasn't from some sort of illness or something out of the ordinary, but a simple car crash. Furthermore, the other driver wasn't drinking and there wasn't some grand reason for why it happened. 
 It was an accident. 
 That's something I feel is lacking in the young adult realm. It always feels, to me, like there has to be some over the top, dramatic situation for every plot. This was different. 
 I was digging on the characters, particularly Adam, throughout the whole story. You got to know them in a short amount of time. I feel like we really got a firm grasp of the type of folks she had, the cute little brother, and the support system. Her grandfather broke my heart probably more than any other character. 
 As for the love story, I'll admit I was pleased. I'm a hopeless sap and I expected for him to propose at the end. According to Mia, that's the type of guy Adam is. When he left her room, I figured he was off to get that ring. Now I'm glad he didn't. It would have been too cliche, too common of the teenage love story these days. They're typical teenagers with extraordinary talent - other elements didn't need to be added. 
 The writing was simple and common for the genre, but I still enjoyed it. I am curious about the next novel, particularly since I've read the synopsis. I love a happy ending so I hope it works out for them.
