Ready to Fall by Marcella Pixley
5.0
This book was one of my favorites of 2017. Ending the year on a high note!
I felt connected (if only vaguely) to almost all of Max's circumstances.
I'm a Christian who has celebrated Jewish holidays with my best friend (who is Messianic Jewish) almost all my life. It's a huge part of my life.
I've been immersed in the arts since as long as I can remember (especially drawing, writing, and theater). They are a part of who I am (I've thought of pursuing every one as a career).
And I have known the tragedy of cancer far too often, never as close as a parent (thank the Lord) but I've felt and seen the pain it brings to those who are closest to the one fighting it.
This book felt almost like home. Even the voice of the main character felt familiar. Max processed things like I would. Through story and imagery. And it felt believable!
This book was amazing. Especially for me.
