review 1: I love this book...it's amazing!It's so emotional and felt like I could really understand Mia and what she was going through.I think the author did an amazing job putting all those emotions into words. It was like she knew what it means to have that life. I know what is like, at least about growing up without a mother and having someone you love committ suicide, and I thought she could put what I was feeling and going to into words. I cried so much but at the same time I am really glad I've read this book.
review 2: An emotional journey through both heartbreak and love.....Finding Mia is a novel which will test your emotional stamina at every turn. Rachel K. Burke has created characters whose trauma and inner turmoil is almost palpable. This story was very we... morell crafted and thought out so that every loose end is tied up and every question you have is answered with precision.From the beginning, you will find yourself yearning for the life the main character has spent her short existence dreaming of; a life full of love and joy rather than adult situations, loss and heartache. Mia, the main character, is so complex it’s difficult to disengage yourself when you put the book down at times. Her diversity of emotions is so realistic, you will find yourself crying along with her struggles and cheering when she finds such unexpected joy in the most startling places. You will literally watch her “find herself” during this tale and feel honored to be allowed a glimpse into her incredible life. While very young, Mia is a terrifically strong character you will fall in love with.The supporting cast is very fleshed out and projected in a manner in which you will relate to their trials and tributes as well. You want to be angry and yet you also want Mia to find what she’s been searching for her whole life. You won’t, however, find it where you expected in the beginning. She blossoms right before your eyes as you turn the pages, as do those whose lives she touches. She brings such clarity to so many in such a short period of time.Emotionally vested, you will shadow this coming of age tale in a kind of backwards direction. A child who was forced to grow up too soon is finally presented with a place where she can be "young", make good and bad choices and just plain be a teenager. If you can keep yourself from losing yourself in the character of Mia, her desires, her heartache, her obstacles and her triumphs, you are a stronger person than I am. I was entranced by this story right from the beginning and never let go until the end. This was a fantastic read with tangible characters and an incredibly well told story. Easily one of my favorite reads for 2012-I can't recommend this book enough! less
