Alright so I actually wasn't super excited for this book. I guess I didn't want to get excited about something that had a bit of hype surrounding it. I was pleasantly surprised to find its exceeded my expectations.
This story, so far, has reminded me why I love young adult fiction. It's so much more than teen romance. Young adult literature tackles tough issues like death and broken homes and grief (I could go on forever probably) in a unique way and sigh I feel reinvigorated.
I love how Mia's family is depicted. It sounds so idealic to me to have parents like hers. It almost seemed too perfect but the author did include Mia's insecurity with not feeling like she belongs in her family which was a nice balance.
Also omfg ADAM. That little scene where he asks her to play him like a cello was so sweet and I loved it. He also seems a little too perfect but aren't they all?
Now I know the whole point of the book is that she has to decide if she wants to go be with her parents in whatever is after this life or stay and be with Adam and (maybe) her little brother. Since there's a second book I'm guessing she decides to live. But we'll see.
I'm rushing through this book so you'll probably hear from me again shortly.
Also I just realized I only have 100 pages to go. Oops.
