This book was in conclusion quite a good family drama book. On the other hand, from the title, I expected something else. When I picked this book I believed I would mostly read about Gwen and her life with her condition from her perspective. How she learned about it and how she managed her diagnosis through the years. I didn't expect this book to be focused so much on other family members. It was a book about a family with one member having a medical condition. Not a book about a person with a medical condition and her family.
