This was a wonderful book! I have kept a copy of this so that I can read it again and again. This is about a woman that is hired to take care of a young man that is diagnosed with lukemia. They fall in love with each other and try to ignore that he is sick. At times it eats her up inside, because he will not seek treatment. He's tired of the doctors and of being sick so there are many days where she goes out because he sleeps all day.

She ends up meeting another young man and has an affair with him for a short while. The man with the disease can be very vulgar, rude, and tends to have a bit of a dry sense of humor. The book makes you want to scream at times and others it makes you want to start crying so be ready for a roller coaster ride.
