A choice shaped by memory, music, and family

Mia’s life is defined by music, close family ties, a loving boyfriend, and plans for the future—until a sudden event places her between life and death. The story unfolds across one critical day as she looks back on the life she has lived and considers an uncertain future. Memory and music frame a premise centered on what remains when nearly everything changes, while Mia’s decision gives the book its central question. Family, love, loss, and the possibility of hope are woven into this young adult novel’s exploration of living and dying.

Book overview

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.
