I really enjoyed reading this book, couldn't put it down. Bec is a college student who has lost her way, having an affair with Liam, a married professor, unsatisfied with her major, and unhappy with her job as a waitress. She finds herself after answering an ad to be a caregiver for a woman named Kate who has ALS, with whom she becomes very close. Kate ends up having a major influence on Bec, who finally breaks it off with Liam, quits school, and persues a career as a chef after learning how to cook while caring for Kate. The ending is thought-provoking, albeit sad. This is a very touching coming-of-age type of story that will make you wonder, "What would I have done?" I highly recommend this book, beautifully written!
