Side Effects by Amy Goldman Koss

3.0

More of a 3.5. This book was funny and realistic. However, I felt like the ending was rushed, and I also got kind-of bored towards the end because there wasn't really much of a plot besides finishing cancer treatment... I am not saying that it's not an important to tell, but rather I felt like it kind-of ignored the rest of Izzy's life/character just to get through the cancer treatment plot and be done with the book. Adding more could have really fleshed out her character and the experience of what it's like to face serious illness (since the rest of your life doesn't suddenly get put on hold).
