Brave Enough by Kati Gardner

4.0

I was provided an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Brave Enough tells the story of Cason Martin, a ballerina/high school student and Davis Channing a cancer survivor/drug addict/high school student.
The story starts as Cason takes the audition of her life that will make her part of a huge dance company… But as she finishes it, she can feel something break in her knee and latter learns that she has bone cancer.
Meanwhile, Chase is coming out of rehab and is sentenced to community service at the cancer clinic where he was a patient.
This is how they meet, well, meet again, because they go to the same school though they were never really in each other orbits.
We then follow their story, through their two points of view.

I enjoyed this book. It was touching.
The characters were endearing, I liked getting to know them.
The plot was well laid and interesting.
It made me feel a lot, I got teary several times.
The romance was okay, it made sense but it wasn’t the most compelling part of the book, in my opinion.
The relationship between Cason and her mother was really layered and gripping.

All in all, this book was a short, agreeable read that I would recommend.
