From reading the other reviews, I feel like a jerk, but I did not like this book. At All. It was a quick read, but it was extremely predictable and truly far fetched. I am a single mother of two young boys and dying young and leaving them behind is my biggest fear. I am a single mom because my husband died at a young age from cancer. I have been a caretaker and I live with this story in my heart daily...and not one word of this book rang true to me.
On top of that, the writing was cliqued and the author tried too hard. Many parts were awkward. Further, religion played a large role in this book and had I known that, I probably would not have picked it up...I am not anti-religion or anti-God, I just don't like to have it foisted upon me when I don't expect it. So, thought I'd pass that information along.
