A girl has cancer. She can't live forever. She knows that. She's accepted that. She doesn't want to hurt people when she's gone, and most of her social life is gone because of her breathing machine. Her mom still makes her go out to cancer groups. She meets a boy who's survived cancer and always puts a cigarette in his mouth during trying times. (Don't worry, he never lights it).
This novel will pull at your heartstrings. It is a touching story about living and dying with cancer and falling in love. It will make you swoon every time you hear the work "okay." The audiobook for this is excellent and definitely gives the character a distinct voice.
If you love this book I strongly suggest "Flowers for Algernon" as another to add to your collection.
5/5 stars.
