How to Live on the Edge
by Sarah Lynn Scheerger
I really enjoyed this book about the ways that sisters Cayenne and Saffron cope with facing death in their lives. Cayenne is the daring one, always looking for risks and tempting fate, while Saffron is more of a serious care taker. The book was told from Cayenne’s viewpoint, but you get to know Saffron as well.
Raised by their aunt and uncle, Cayenne and Saffron are faced with their own likelihood of having the BRCA gene mutation when their aunt tests positive for it as well. I was able to feel their emotions as they decided whether to get tested for the gene mutation. I really liked their relationship with each other, as well as with their aunt and their younger twin cousins.
It was inspiring to see Cayenne grow and change throughout this book and I really appreciated the look at their mother that was revealed through her journal and videos that she made for the girls.
This is a YA book but I recommend it for older readers as well!
