"If I Die Young" by Talia JagerCaelyn Noel is your ordinary teenager.  Maybe not as active as some of her friends, due to asthma, but she still has the usual problems.  Getting homework turned in, final exams, breaking up with her boyfriend.Just as she gains interest in the cute boy she's liked for years, things take a turn for the worse and she collapses at school.  Her heart is giving out and she is in desperate need of a new one.All of Caelyn's friends seem to disappear except for Lindsay, her best friend.  Her parents are by her side every step of the way, so she isn't entirely alone.  But what about love?  What if she dies without having found the love of her life?  When she meets Austin Walker, she thinks that maybe she does have a second chance at love at the very least.  Is he the one for her?"If I Die Young" is a must read for any young adult.  It is a sweet romance and filled with Caelyn's trials and tribulations as she deals with heart disease and facing death.  Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down.  Caelyn's situation is a bit terrifying, a lot for a young girl to go through, yet she soldiers on.  I don't want to give too many details away, I just suggest you read it for yourself!~M. L.
