Decent adaption

Rating: 5/10 (3 March 2018)

I really liked this book, the movie adaption is decent but honestly also pretty forgettable. Sort of along the lines of The Fault In Our Stars but not. This story follows Mia Hall after a car accident puts her in a coma. Through flashbacks we reflect on her life while she decides whether or not to wake up and face her new reality.
Most of this story is told through flashbacks; to her sweet loving, meant to be hip parents, her little brother, her (endless) cello playing and her up and down relationship with the popular, older bad boy from the band who for some reason has fallen for... her. Mia gets accepted to Juilliard, her boyfriend goes on tour, Stacy Keach is her grandfather, Mia roams the hospital and her memories with endless musical interludes including cello recitals and watching her dreamy boyfriend play in bars. I found the music too much in this, with entire songs shown when little bits would have been fine.
Enjoyed Mireille Enos as the cool mom even if the family ws portrayed a little TOO perfect.
Definitely preferred the book on this one.
