This is a story about Kate.  Her dad disappeared for the last year of her life.  After showing up drunk to her graduation she learns he has Huntington's disease and not only does she have to deal with that news, the bombshell of it being hereditary and she might develop it too is dropped into her lap.  All of a sudden her plans completely change, and she has to learn how to cope.  Cope with her sick father, and cope with the fact that she might become sick too.Kate meets Lachlin and he shows her that it's the little things in life that count."I'm just saying, I'm going to try everyhitng once, and if it hurts, or it gets hard, it's going to be worth it.  I'ts about living in the present.  Having no regrets."Ugh...I don't know how to put into words what I feel about this book.  Anything at this point would seem inadequate.  This story is going to stay with me for a long time.  It has been a long while since I have read a book that has made me feel so much.  This book is heavy, and it is real life.  It deals with the possibilities of dying and learning to cherish the little things.  Lauren McKellar knows how to put together a story that pulls emotion out of you.  This book made me laugh, and made me cry multiple times.  A definite read for all of you, but be prepared for a big bookhangover.5 stars!
