Whoa! That was unexpected. On to the next part.
Still entertaining with a witty protagonist and her unrelenting stream of visitors who continue to give her, albeit unwittingly, the breakdown of her life as it goes on without her verbal presence.

This is part 2 of 6 part daily serial, part two is the month of August.
Loving the concept of this daily serial, a girl in a coma after an unfortunate traffic accident, able to hear all the conversations of family, friends, police, doctors, medical staff & anyone else that decides to visit, without any of them realising that she can hear everything.
I’m still enjoying this serial, interesting, funny in places and even a bit of a shocking revelation at the end of part 2 which is a bit of a cliff hanger too.
So with that said, I’m heading straight into part 3 which is the month of September.

The story of Coma Girl continues and I'm riveted. This one ends on a cliffhanger and boy is it a doozy!

>Book Review – Coma Girl
>I am an independent reviewer. These books are a 6 part serial that ends in an HEA. Marigold is mentally alert, but stuck in a coma. As she gets visitors, they begin to unburden themselves and she learns TMI about her entire family, friends and even strangers. The story is both heartwarming and heart breaking. There is an unusual amount of humor, especially with Marigold’s aunt Winnie and her wanna be psychic friend who is more miss than hit.
>The book also highlights the kindness of strangers. There is a little girl, especially, who seems to know exactly when Marigold needs a little mental pick-me-up. There are also instances of incredible cruelty, as some hospital workers refer to Marigold’s room and roommates as the “vegetable patch”.
>Social media takes off, creating an internet sensation with “Coma Girl”. Along with all of this attention, the reality of the crazies really is quite scary. The scenes where Marigold attempts to communicate were poignant. The whole experience creates a new outlook for Marigold, as secrets are revealed. I had a different HEA in mind for her, though.
>These books are appropriate for an adult audience. I am giving the serial 5 stars. The story is a quick read and so very entertaining.

Coma Girl
Chronological order necessary
In A Nutshell:Marigold Kemp is in a coma following a car crash. Marigold can hear, but nobody knows that for sure. So, it leads to a fantastic cast of characters including her dysfunctional family, crazy friends, members of the justice system and hospital staff letting their emotional guard down. You will laugh, perhaps shed a tear, but Coma Girl will enthral readers. Clever, funny and thought-provoking.
The Protagonist(s):Marigold Kemp is the middle child in a family of three. And so in many ways, Marigold appears the forgotten child. Her elder brother is a war hero and her younger sister the brain box. Written in the first person, Marigold aka Coma Girl gets to hear all sorts of secrets and confessions which she processes with dry humour.
I have covered Coma Girl 1 -5 in this review. The stories are so addictive I just had to keep on going. The story begins with Marigold hospitalized following a car accident that led to severe head trauma and her coma. The book is in the style of diary entries and starts on 1 July. There are plenty of twists and laughs in every entry.
Over the course of six months, Marigold becomes the social media sensation Coma Girl. And that brings additional pressure to Marigold's case and the other patients in the 'vegetable patch' which is what some hospital workers call the coma ward.
Readers will meet the detective Jack Terry who is investigating her case. And the head-on collision involving NFL star player Keith Young is not all it seems. There is the dedication of Dr. Jarvis, and the ethical lines one will's the professionals to cross. And some people are just so dang frustrating. Grrr. And others like Marigold's mum and sister are callous at times.
But there is plenty of humour, provided by Coma Girl, her wonderful aunt Winnie and Roberta, the best friend. There are also quirky characters like Sister Irene. All of them make for witty dialogue.
Coma Girl is a novel concept that might sound boring but is anything but! Highly recommended

Hey and boo! Guys and Dolls - First… HAPPY HALLOWEEN 👻🎃🧙♀️🐈⬛ 🎉
Second… OH SNAP! I love how Stephanie ended this book, but I have such an overthinking mind that my first thoughts besides “Oh Snap!” are, “How did they not know? She’s been in the hospital 8 weeks, so docs should have known the day she was admitted or shortly after.” Then, “It’s a mistake and the new drug is causing a false positive. Or it’s just a mistake.” Next, “Oh! Oh! Did one of the men that visit her - or hospital staff - do that to her?” Hmmm…
What I do know is that Stephanie’s stories are always so riveting. Wow! Talk about originality and creativity. I actually wanted to read Stephanie’s Grave Girl (I think that’s the series name), but all books haven’t released yet, so I chose the next most interesting and that was Coma Girl. I just knew I had to read another series by Stephanie, because Elevator Girl was so outstanding. I’m utterly hooked on this author since then.
Keep up the amazing stories, SB!
See you in my next review!
Devices to your cabooses!
PS - From the moment (in the first book) he sat down to read poetry to Marigold, I’ve suspected the poetry guy is none other than Keith.

Did Not See A Fetus Coming?? 3.5*****
This story has suddenly become more interesting! Young was drunk. Her mother has become a well known realtor because of her coma, her parents are at odds relationship-wise, Audrey and Joanna are not happy with their current lives... so both are awake and comatose! The final cliff hanger is Marigold is pregnant, leaving me to wonder who is raping her... the Detective, Dr. Jarvis, the orderlies, or Poetry Man?? How many months is she pregnant, more than two or less...???
Slowly getting into this series now, as part 2 is much more revealing than part, one as one gets a look into the characters’ personality.
Must Read!!

Coma Girl is a 6 part serial following Marigold Kemp as she tries to recover from a serious head injury caused by a car accident. Marigold has visitors who aren't certain that they can be heard, so the interactions with her in a vegetative state is...interesting.
I really enjoyed the concept of this serial. Each installment was a month in the ward. The things Marigold became a witness to were sometimes heartbreaking but many times hilarious. I found this story entertaining and refreshing. It was also interesting that there was little if any description for the characters, so it allowed my imagination to run wild. Cool concept. Maybe offer a boxset??

I'm hooked on this series.
Marigold is the narrator, and she's in a coma. She can hear everything going on around her, but she can't respond. She was injured in a car accident, but can't remember what happened. Her sister was in the car, and says the other driver crossed the center lane. The other driver is a famous football player who just happened to be driving drunk.
There are so many interesting characters in this series. I don't want to spoil the story.

I love Stephanie Bonds stories. When I saw Coma Girl I though, how can she possibly writer 6 Short books on this subject..Not only did she do it but kept it interesting, exciting, and humerous to the point I would laugh out loud. This is a great series and I couldn't put it down. I've enjoyed her other books but this was even better and though provoking. Exellent!!!
July 16, 2020
Absolutely delightful and heartwarming installment in the story of coma girl. It is funny, sarcastic, witty, and touching all at once. The cliffhanger ending in book two was a bombshell!. I just wish it was one book rather than six. But the technique of a daily diary one month at a time makes it easy to adapt to. I cant wait to begin book three
January 11, 2018
Hmmm
I was intrigued by the first book and was enjoying the second but the twist at the end of the book has me worried it’s about to go off the rails. I’ll keep reading because they are Kindle Unlimited books and I’m not out any additional money if I don’t like it.

I can't seem to get enough of this book. It's like watching a soap opera without the bad acting. I'm just loving meeting these people and getting glimpses of their lives that they refuse to acknowledge. This is making me think about my own life. Wow!! Marigold is my hero.

Great
I still do not like the family members (the father seems okay), but I really do like this story. You really start to feel for coma girl, but also for the others ones in her room. I will go on with the next book.

Every one of the Coma Girl books kept my interest. The protagonist throughout the story is a young woman in a coma. How could that be interesting? Believe me, it was! Kudos to the author for creating this unusual, entertaining series of books.

I actually enjoyed it a bit more than the first book. The thing that annoys me a bit it is that, now I have to read the third part to follow the last news that appeared in the end of the second part...

So well written. A real page turner. I am rooting for Coma Girl to wake up to face all the random voices in her world.

Again, too short
This would make a great full length book. The cliffhangers are annoying, but I’ll move on in the series. Ugh.
