Five Days Left by Julie Lawson Timmer
4.0

I bought this year's ago at a used book store and finally got around to reading it. What an honest, real novel. Mara's part of the story was far more interesting to me than Scott's. As a character, to me, Scott was selfish and annoying. I particularly liked Mara's friendship with the cab driver. I think the author did a great job with character development. I was very surprised by the ending. I thought Mara's sickness was also handled really well and was very informative.
