The haunting tale of a girl fighting for her life after a car accident that killed the rest of her family. Her choice is whether to join them or stay orphaned and bereft on earth. How she swings back and forth over this decision is beautifully done. A very impressive work, highly recommended.
Comparison: Alice Sebold, Jenny Downham (Before I Die), Lauren Oliver (Before I Fall).

Mia had everything: a loving family, a gorgeous, adoring boyfriend, and a bright future full of music and full of choices. Then, in an instant, almost all of that is taken from her. Caught between life and death, between a happy past and an unknowable future, Mia spends one critical day contemplating the only decision she has left-the most important decision she'll ever make. Simultaneously tragic and hopeful, this is a romantic, riveting, and ultimately uplifting story about memory, music, living, dying, loving.
