If I could give this novel 10 stars I would. This wonderful literary creation tugs at every emotion that you have. I would easily make this a top 10 of the best books that I have ever read. The teenage cheerleader he could never get and an adult man who she never knew could save her... but they have two things in common... online gaming & terminal cancer. He has been matched as her mentor in a program for cancer survivors; a program designed to help young cancer victims. He is captivated by her at first sight. After an initial dinner in her family home there is an immediate attraction and desire. He has told her that they can only be friends because, he knows she is only 17. He is in town for a few days to spend with her for the program. After an encounter with her ex-boyfriend, the boy who left her when she got sick, he becomes protective of her and finds that they have so many common interests: gaming, movies, tv shows, long talks with lots of laughter, and an attraction. She has told him that she doesn't want to die a virgin, and has been looking for someone to have sex with. On his last night in Texas he takes her to a charity gala, and they have a great time becoming even more connected. He brings her home and she asks him for a kiss. After finally giving in to temptation, they kiss with an unbridled passion, and they can't deny their new feeling for each other. The stress of it all causes him to collapse, rendering him unconscious. In the events leading up to their happiness, you will be left with frustration, kindness, longing, sacrifice, risk taking, and unconditional love. I have had lots of Family pass from cancer, and this story embodies all hope and loss that I could ever muster. Thanks for the experience. You must read this!!!!!!! Can't wait for the novel by Kary Rader.
