My opinon on the book
The second is because Mia is a teenager and she has problems that any teenager has' and I love books that talk about teenagers. When I read the book I was so exited and I want to read it again. I think that we can learn from this book about choosing between optoins, about being diffrent, and about love and friendship. Although it is not realistic, I like that Mia can choose if she live or die, she can choose her future.
I think that teenagers will like the book because the intresting plot and the lovely charecters, and I recommend to read this book and also to watch the exelent movie.
