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

>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 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??

This is part 4 of 6 part daily serial, part four is the month of October
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 as it with the previous parts, we get another shocker of an ending/cliffhanger which makes you just want to get straight to reading the next part immediately.
So with that said, I’m heading straight into part 5 which is the month of November.

If you want a summertime read that is charming, funny, and moving all at once, this is it. Each book ends with a twist, and the cliff hangar in book four is exquisite. More importantly, since the story revolves around a young woman in a lengthy coma or vegetative state, one could wonder about the legality of certain things. SO the author includes a wonderfully informative Q and A with a lawyer dealing with advanced directives. It was eyeopening and worth reading just for itself.. but then you wouldn't have a chance to read Marigold's coma story which is worth its weight in gold.

Stephanie! Oh my garshk, talk about another BAM! Like I said in my previous reviews of this series, the last sentences are always a punch in the face with shock! What?! I can’t wait for Marigold to wake up and maybe punch her sister in the mouth! What is she thinking?! Everyone is a mess. The world around Marigold is falling apart. She’s the only sane one. If only she wasn’t trapped in her body right now… Dang!

It just keeps getting better
I haven't been this excited and anxious to know how it ends in a while. I honestly can't stop reading. Someone needs to come confiscate my kindle so I can get some work done.

Love love all of Stephanie Bond’s series and this was no exception. Made me think this could truly be what it would be like if I were in a coma. Yet it was still funny and had me guessing till the end. Must read series.

Finished with a dropped bomb, so I need to keep reading to find out what’s next, very frustrating... Although an interview with an attorney at the end of the book about people’s rights who are in coma in real life was actually very interesting. Thumbs up for that!

Very thought provoking.
I now have a sense of peace when thinking about comatose patients. This serial is very enlightening for me. Thank you, Stephanie.
