If I Stay Theme of Love

Sleeping Beauty might have been literature's first coma patient, unconscious until woken by true love's kiss. Surprisingly, her story isn't entirely in the realm of fiction, either. In 2009, a woman left unconscious after a heart attack was woken by a kiss from her husband (source).

For Mia, it's a terrible car accident instead of a magic spell or cardiac arrest that puts her under, but it's still love that brings her back to life.
