Let me explain, Alice is upset that she is no longer "dying". She's afraid of commitment and puts everyone she loves down (especially the love interest Harvey). She is afraid of all the life that has been given back to her and the future scares her. I felt so bad for Harvey because he's constantly being used and his feelings being thrown about carelessly.
The story is told in "Then" and "Now" narrative. The "Then" narrative just consistently shows how present day Alice is truly just a bitch.
Alice isn't ready for commit and isn't ready for a relationship. Alice can't let Harvey go for his own betterment. It's very toxic to be honest, and I don't think the narrative ever makes up for how unhealthy the relationship got.
The 2 star rating comes from Alice consistently being toxic and the book ultimately brushing her behavior off.
Moderate: Cancer and Toxic relationship
