Note: I was given this book by the author in exchange for an honest review. My rating is 3.5 stars, but since I'm not given that option here, I rounded up instead of down.Eighteen Months to Live is a non-fiction memoir of sorts during the last months of Rachele's mom's life. Heart wrenching, sad, and inspirational all rolled into one.This story is actual journal entries she wrote after learning of her illness. We learn the inner thoughts of a vibrant, out going woman who has just learned she has a rare form of cancer, which is terminal.I could relate to this story as I lost my father to lung cancer eighteen years ago and my mother passed from stroke complications in 2008. If you have lost a loved one to a terminal illness, you would find this book informing and inspiring. It's not a sit on the edge of your seat type of read, but it will hold your interest.I do think it could have used some editing to make it a smoother read, but other than that I found no major flaws. I would recommend this to others who like this type of book.
