Although this is listed for "Young Adult' it is for adults. Unless you allow your teens to read about quite a bit of bedroom scenes. It's written by a southern author which immediately drew me to the book as I just love the feel from a southern based story. This is a well written novel about Anna Hand who discovers she has cancer and commits suicide. After finishing this story it left me wondering how I really felt about what I had just read. I have decided I feel moved & know that there will be a lingering memory of Anna with me for awhile yet. I did enjoy this book.
