This is a hard book. I connected with this book in many ways. For one, I had a sister who had, we think, uterine cancer. She died from it. I also had a complex and more estranged relationship with that same sister. So, I really got this book. It's definitely for older teens with the topics it deals with and navigating the adult world. But, it's a very good book and I'm extremely glad I picked it up.
