A Canadian woman turns to online chat rooms for friendship and comfort after feeling alienated and alone while dealing with a serious illness. Connections are made that change her life. One in particular, a Southern American will make an indelible mark.This book started out good but sad. It drew me in with all the medical difficulties and Jade’s turmoil with facing the changes happening in her life. It almost felt like it hit a little too close to home with all the tumors and cancers in her family.Then the awkward online chatting started and I completely lost interest. The hokey hick tone and conveniently interrupted uncomfortable conversations were a snooze. I wish at least half of them had been edited out.Jade becomes a hopelessly weak person. She made it through her own illness and deaths in her family only to become obsessed with a man she can’t have. After a promising first few chapters, I had greater expectations for Jade’s story.
