i'm going to pretend that this book doesn't exist and that anatomy is a standalone. apart from hazel (mostly), this book was a sad, disappointing, unsatisfactory mess

4.0

Another brilliantly enjoyable book by Dana Swartz. A good conclusion to the first novel which continues to explore and expand on the themes brought by the first part. 
I felt it was not as well rounded a narrative as the first and a little superficial at points but still well worth a read

I don't think this sequel was required. 

She should have ended up with Simon, Jack was kind of a jerk in this sequel.

“Immortality: A Love Story” is the sequel to “Anatomy: A Love Story”. Even though I was approved to read the book prior to publication I didn’t get around to reading it until a year later. Therefore there was a gap in time between when I read the first book and the second book. This meant I had a little trouble remembering everything that happened in “Anatomy”. But, I got into “Immortality” within a few chapters. The story was interesting and I enjoyed the mixture of medical mystery, history and romance. It was low spice which I also appreciated. There is also a philosophical and political aspect to the story… it makes you think.  

All in all, I enjoyed this and would definitely recommend it to my friends.
