Two teens, who are neighbors in the cancer hospital, begin to find friendship and hope together

I enjoyed the characters in this book, but nothing really stood out to me. It reminded me of The Fault in our Stars, but it just didn‘t grab me the same way. I did like the dual perspective and the way it went from different settings, but it just was a bit repetitive in parts and I didn‘t love the writing.

Growing up, facing adversity, & finding meaning in hardship.
📚
Zac & Mia uses alternating perspectives to contrast two experiences of adolescent cancer. Zac & Mia deal with their diagnoses very differently.
📚
Zac & Mia learn about their illnesses and themselves, navigating treatment & finding joy as not-so-average teenagers. The book deals with themes of illness, mortality, hope, loss, & family.
📚
Have you read Zac & Mia? What did you think?

I didn‘t know this was made into a tv series And I happily stumbled upon it on Netflix.

I really enjoyed this book when I read it and can‘t wait to dive into the show.

Enjoying the time inside during this rainy day.
Anyone else read this book? I picked it up on a whim at Half Price Books, and I'm really enjoying it so far!

So far the story only shows Zac‘s point of view. Zap is trying to communicate with Mia through notes and knocks in the wall, but Mia isn‘t responding the way he wants. He over hears arguments between Mia and nurses and wishes he could tell her it‘s not there fault. The genre of this book is realistic fiction. If you like books about people dealing with illness or friendship, this book is for you.

Zac, a soccer-playing farm boy. Mia, a gorgeous girl with perfect friends. In the real world, they would have little to say to eachother. But in the hospital, where they are undergoing cancer treatment, the usual rules don‘t apply. Soon, the messages Zac and Mia trade through a shared wall evolve into a bond that neither sees coming. The theme of the book is friendships. If you like books with perspective changes and you may enjoy this book

I laughed, I cried, I felt fear, and love. A great read by A.J. Betts telling the story through the eyes of two teens who endure illness and heartache.
Definitely a recommend read!

Zac and Mia becomes friends after sharing a wall in the cancer unit. The story is told in alternating POV‘s showing how each teen deals with their cancer. Zac has a big supportive family who lift him up when he is feeling down. Mia doesn‘t have that, it‘s just her mom and they don‘t get along.

Despite the heavy subject this book had a lot of funny moments and it was great to get two different stories that converged into one.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Happy International Cat Day!

Lennon makes everything her bed but my books are her fav.

I love strawberries and blueberries. They are basically the only fruits safe for me to eat so I have them a lot.

My next read is a lot lighter in pages than my last. I needed something that was under 300 pages after that last book.

Beautiful book, loved this story and getting to see their different POV. 5/5

#HeyJune Another YA book that I read and enjoyed ,which I believe has been turned into a TV series. Zac & Mia are two teens who “meet” while in isolation of their adjoining hospital rooms. Completely opposite in nature & personality the 2 are drawn together based on their shared circumstance. A friendship leads to a romance but really all they want is normalcy #IWantToHoldYourHand 🌟🌟This has been compared to Green‘s FIOS 🌟🌟

This was funny and sweet and gave me so many feelings! A great read-alike for fans of The Fault in Our Stars

I choose this book cause the cover. #San_32

Another TFIOS-type book - this one seemed more realistic and a bit more hopeful in the end. Plus, it's set in Australia and has kangaroos! Narration was really well done, with a man and woman switching off for the two narrators, Zac and Mia. Nothing earth-shattering but an enjoyable enough read.

Next up on #labsoundtrack!

Es ist so heiß, ich schmelze! 😩 Also bin ich schwimmen gegangen (anders ist es ja nicht auszuhalten) und jetzt lese ich noch ein wenig. Danach geht es wieder ins Wasser 🌊🌅

#currentlyreading

Hello guys! I'm new here and enjoying this app so far 😊

Hopefully I'll finish this book today. Although it's really good, it took me like a decade to read and now there are less than 100 pages left #currentlyreading

:)

This is not "TFIOS." But it's still a great story about friendship, heartbreaks, and, you guessed it, illness. A wild ride from start to finish. 4/5 stars

Ha! Stole a shelfie from the teen's room. I think I'll be doing some summer reading from this shelf 😜

Has anyone mentioned this #AustralianAuthor? #feistyfeb

Hard to believe it's almost my birthday month 🎉🎉🎉 #MegMarch 🤣🤣🤣💃🏻🤓😜🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I'm sorry Mia is sick, but she's obnoxious and annoying. Zac criticizes his mother's weight. I dislike them both immensely and, although I wish them well, I'm not sticking around to find out what happens to them.

I knew only that this was a #YA book when I started listening. I had received it as part of the AudioSync summer program and needed something to listen to in the car, so I pushed play. It turned out to be a pretty decent read. I really felt for and with both Zac and Mia. Not only was their story together a believable journey, but also their individual paths. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #litsyatoz #letterz

I've had a busy weekend thus far and haven't been able to log as much reading time as I was hoping, but thanks to 3 hours in the car, I was able to finish listening to Stars Above and get through nearly half of Zac and Mia. As soon as this horrible Packer performance is over, I intend to spend the rest of the night reading away! #24in48 @24in48

Side note: any Modest Mouse fans? I think of their song Bukowski every time I read/hear his name.

This book is narrated by both Zac and Mia. Both characters start the novel as total strangers who communicate through a hospital wall. Both are fighting cancer, and what I found most moving about their battles was how the book exposed the emotional toll cancer has on humanity. This book is not just about cancer, it explores love, friendship, self image, and adventure. I particularly liked how the ending is more realistic than I expected

Wahh another book about kids with cancer. It's a good one though. And definitely loving the free YA audiobook summer from audiosync 🙌🏼

I think this book is really cute and while the whole thing is kind of sad. You really do fall in love with the characters and even their small amount of relationship you fall for because that's what the story was meant to do. I highly recommend this book.
