Zac and Mia

This book was doomed for a bad review from the get go. There was not enough emotional connection like Hazel and Gus had. The relationship wasn't as star crossed like Eleanor and Park. I think the best part of the book was Mia's reaction and emotions with being sick.

I was hesitant to read another teenage cancer book, but this one was quite different from the others, so that was nice. I liked Zac and Mia's story together, and even though I found Mia to be incredibly annoying and rude throughout much of the book, I felt like she and Zac helped each other out when things got too hard.

I really identified with Mia and her relationship with her mom. I found the other characters real and endearing. This was a fast & sweet read.

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I thought overall it was a pretty good book. I loved how the two characters, Zac and Mia, both hit rock bottom and they needed each other to help them back up. Mia attitude kind of bumped her to the bottom of my favorite character list but she redeemed herself in the end. One of my friends saw me reading it and I think I may have gotten her to read it also. I love finding good books for people. It makes me feel so accomplished.

I didn't like this at first, the beginning was pretty boring to me! But I liked the main character Zac so I kept reading and I don't regret it!
This is about two people completely different, with different families and lifestyles but despite it all they come together, develop a friendship and help each other overcome cancer. They learn to accept it and fight it. 
I liked the character development on this book, especially on Mia, you can definitely see her change and it was nice! 
This book is a nice, easy read. I didn't loved it but I ended up enjoying it.

Decent. An easy, quick read - a little predictable but enjoyable.

The beginnig was good. Then it gets bad. And then the last three, two chapters broke me. I'm crying.

An sich eine ziemlich schöne Geschichte. Ich mochte auch die Art der Erzählperspektive. Nur zog es sich zeitweise sehr. Daher "nur" 4/5 ☆
