Side Effects by Amy Goldman Koss

3.0

Isabelle is fifteen and has cancer. Lymphoma, to be exact. Everything happens so quickly: one minute she realizes that her glands are still swollen from a long ago battle with the flu,and practically the next she's being checked in to the Children's Hospital. We see six months of Izzie's life--from the diagnosis, the surgery, right through to the chemo.

I liked this. Izzie is a cool character--funny, sarcastic, and real. She has honest responses to her situation and her "hostile attitude" is quite funny at times. Good book.
