Review: New kind of love story
Rating: 5 out of 5

This story felt real. Stephanie had been an abitious, nothing-gets-in-my-way business woman. She had put her plans for her company ahead of everything else in her life--until diagnosed with breast cancer. Another reviewer made a comment that she "only lost" half a breast. As a person who has lost several people to cancer and one good friend to breast cancer, I loved the truth shown here--that any removal of breast is trauma, any cancer where part of a body is removed changes the person on the inside and the recovery process isn't always pretty! I liked how Stephanie moved through her recovery with her family, her business and Finn. There was a time when her company came before everything, but realistically, things did change after cancer. She made time for other activities and people.  I liked how the characters dealt with the changes--her looking at her body, him finally hearing about the cancer and how he acted. I loved how the author showed the process, the pain and the recovery with joy that is still possible! Stephanie regained hope and next to love, that is the most important thing needed to survive!
