This is a story about cancer. This is not TFIOS, this isn't Me, Earl and the Dying Girl. This is the story of the pieces of a person that are left when they survive. This is the story of Evie as she tries to figure out who she is when she isn't sick anymore. What happens when your friends are still sick and the ones that aren't don't understand what you are going through? It's not an easy read but it's worth reading for anyone who has ever had a friend who's been sick and gotten better. It's just as hard after the illness as it is for the person during the illness. If nothing else, this story will teach you that you need to understand that people will not be the same as they were before the illness and those of us still in their lives need to respect that. There's a sequel to the book and I wasn't expecting one but the story leaves on such a cliffhanger with Marcus and Evie that I'm definitely going to read the next one for sure. Some of the best books aren't always the easiest ones to read but this one is definitely worth the time and the tears. It's a point of view that I think more people need to see.
