K, so I ended up watching the movie before reading the book, which was a big fail on my end, but whatever. I finished this book in a little over 24 hours, that's how much I enjoyed it?? It was draining and excruciatingly sad, but I was captivated the whole way through. The majority of the book is told through flashbacks of Mia's life, while the actual story is set in the present time, with Mia in the hospital, in a coma. It was a very effective way to tell the story, however the only thing I had an issue with was the fact that the flashbacks were not told chronologically? Which I totally get was an artistic choice and whatnot, but it was just an itty bitty detail that bugged me. Other than that, A+ WOULD RECCOMMEND, KEEP A BOX OF FUCKIN KLEENIX WITH YOU.
