First off can I just say that after reading this book I admire the strength and fury that this author went throughout her cancer ordeal, and for her to write a book and base some of it on her real life experiences is truly amazing, thank you Kerri for sharing this heart-warming, earth shattering book of yours.Secondly also a HUGE thank you to Kerri for gifting me a copy to review for the blog tour coming soon. My stop is at @ [...] and will be live on 17th September 2013.*Harper Kennedy, is the new girl in town. The city gal in a small town. Harper lives with her brother "Benny" who I absolutely adore, as if he was my own brother, and her dad. Your wondering where her mother is? Well due to an unforeseen accident, this left her mother in a care home, unable to respond or acknowledge anyway, even her own family.So here we Harper a young, alone, girl who has been through so much heartache, she can't take no more, but unfortunately, AGAIN, she has been dealt the wrong set of cards by fate. She's Ill, and I mean seriously ill, the BIG C ill.The last thing that she needs is someone else to leave behind when she goes.'I'm just so scared my heart isn't strong enough for this; that I'll let you down. I'm scared you will give in to the fight and I'm left saying goodbye to the last person I will love in my entire life.'- VaunVaun: Is the HOT, total swoonworthy, had to get hold of type of guy, yes! seriously that is of course until he sees the most angelic looking female dance across the school stage........Harper.He was funny, protective, loving, and devoted. From the minute he saw Harper, she pulled him in.He is exactly the kind of male character that I love to read. He adores Harper and I really enjoyed their relationship, particularly the banter between them.Vaun character was actually based on Kerri's own Superman, her husband Michael."You have so much heartache, Vaun. I can't stand anymore.My heart isn't strong enough and neither is yours."This book is written from both Harper and Vaun's P.O.V which I loved. We get the insight into the turmoil their facing but not expressing, we see the inner thoughts without wording them aloud.The writing was so tender and really captured the feelings of the characters at certain points in the book; it must have been a difficult story to write especially now knowing about Kerri's personal fight with cancer, such a brave and courageous woman.'And so, here I am, surrounded by love, disease free and using it all in a book for you to read. My fight against the monster and my survival with love is all there for you to read mixed in with a great dash of fiction.'- Kerri WilliamsI laughed, I cried (well to be honest, balled me eyes out was more like it) and couldn't put this book down, not for a single moment, i was enthralled to keep reading, and finish the astounding story.Kerri you touched my heart in more ways than one with this beautiful story and I love you for that. Keep Strong!
