Life threatening cancer brings two teens together in this story about moving through the trajectory of illness and loss and then beyond it (Bulletin, starred review) in the bestselling tradition of John Greens The Fault in Our Stars. Francis is determined to forge his own way in school and life despite his loony, awkward, broken family...and noticeable lack of friends. Then he is diagnosed with leukemia. It wasnt part of his strategy, but there are moments when he can see the upside. After all, people are nice to you when youre sick. While in the hospital, Francis meets Amber. Shes outspoken and sarcastic, and Francis falls for her almost immediately. Together, they take on the other cancer ward patients, overbearing mothers, and treatments with a positive attitude and lively wit. But Franciss recovery is taking a different path from Ambers. Hes actually getting better. And although he knew who he was before cancer, before Amber, now he has no idea how to liveor how to let go

“We didn‘t waste one second of that day. We talked about the past. We talked about the future. And we danced. And we sang. And we toasted absent friends, as the stars shone through the night sky, like Ambers last gift”

This will probably make some of you Littens cringe but I'm tired and it's hot. So she has full reign.

Mehso-so

So. This book is pretty. But the ending... Everything kind of happened all at once and it didn't feel like enough attention was given to the important things. The main character has cancer but it was only kind of integral to the story? I don't know. Not a bad book and an easy read.
