 i was in denial for most of the book, i didn't want to realize what has happened to mia and her family. i think the image of the accident aftermath she described (especially when she told about her father) put me in a shock until almost the end. i don't know what i was expected, i needed something light and that was anything but that, even with that ending. 
 i couldn't connect with mia at first, but i was able to connect with everybody else without a problem, which made the accident aftermath so difficult for me to accept like for, let's say, adam, kim or gramps. it was really painful to get to the same conclusions about staying or leaving as her, and that's what makes this book so good. because it makes you part of it, gets you involved... 
 i started where she went right after and blew me away... i was able to see the flaws in the book, but i couldn't care less. these two books are an superb emotional rollercoaster. pfff!
