Quote #4
"You don't have to choose one or the other, at least not as far as I'm concerned." (10.89)
Kim patiently explains to Mia that she doesn't have to choose between her best friend and her boyfriend. They are not mutually exclusive, and she can have both. Mia's choice of life and death will not be that easy, because those two things are mutually exclusive.
Quote #5
Did I want to go? And I did. More than anything. (11.70)
Mia has another big choice to make in the book: music or Adam. She wants to go to music camp "more than anything," which gives you a hint as to what she will pick if she ever must choose between her cello and her man.
Quote #6
Dad was wrong. It's true you might not get to control your funeral, but sometimes you do get to choose your death. (13.65)
The important word here is "sometimes." Mia is a rare case. If your brains are splattered across the pavement, like her dad's were, there is no choice. Mia likes to complain about having this choice, but maybe her dad, for example, would have actually liked to have the chance to choose life instead of death.
