This is a wonderful teen read! It focuses a lot on love, death and just trying to have some hope.I basically cried through most of this book! Caelyn's story is tragic and one that stayed with me for days. This would have to be every parent's worst nightmare, but I appreciated the fact that the story was from Caelyn's perspective. It kept the reader attuned with the thoughts and feelings of the actual patient instead of a loved one.The relationship between Caelyn and her best friend, Lindsay was so real. Every one of us has either had a relationship like that or at least wanted one. It was agonizing reading while knowing exactly what was going through Lindsay's mind.When Austin arrived, he was like a breath of fresh air! I really adore his character. He brought the light back into Caelyn's eyes and made her happy again.There is a slight twist to the story that the reader finds out in the end. It was kind of predictable and I knew that was how the ending would go, but I loved reading about it anyway.I would like to highly recommend reading this book. It will forever be one of my favorites. Thank you to Talia Jager for the copy for this review and giving me a little insight to the feelings of a very ill adolescent. It was interesting to see inside Caelyn's head and share her fears right alongside her.
