More of a 2.5 rating. This was okay. I didn't really care for the movie when I saw it a couple years ago, so I never felt compelled to read this book. Now that I have, it is much better than the movie was, but it still leaves me feeling meh. It wasn't very long, so I easily flew through it in one sitting. I love the idea behind this book, but the execution wasn't really there for me. The flashbacks were somewhat boring to me, but without them there wouldn't have been much of a story to tell. I enjoyed reading the moments at the hospital between Mia and her family, but that's really the only redeeming quality this book has for me.
