About this ebook
INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A heart-wrenchingly raw and heartbreakingly romantic story that asks the ultimate question: What would you do if you had to choose?
“Beautifully written.”—Entertainment Weekly
“Every moment I spent reading Forman’s masterpiece drew me in more.”—NPR
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.
Adapted into a major motion picture starring Chloe Grace Moretz, Mia’s story will stay with you for a long, long time.

Beautifully written and shows what we all think and feel when a tragedy such as the one the main character went through. It's a battle within your own mind that you have to fight and truly make a final decision so as to face the harshness of the brutal world, but also see and feel the love of what's good in your life.

The story was captive. And I felt "first person", without getting too bored or overwhelmed. It was a wonderful and tearful ride. Personally, I wish novel writers would bleep out more curse words... I understand their placement, but it's harder to share their art with my children. That being said, this is a masterpiece of written emotion, and a treasure.
