Ellie, Quinn and Hana are best friends who form an improve group, at a comedy club where at one of their events they meet Jason who Ellie in particular notices only what should be a great night at a party soon after they meet becomes a nightmare when she collapses in agony as her leg gives way.

However, when she finds out she has cancer, life changes and so does the situation as she finds out she has a tumour growing in her leg. Unsure how Jason will react as he lost his mum to breast cancer not too long ago, she unexpectedly finds herself being comforted by him as he supports her through her tough months ahead as she faces a possible amputation amongst other options...

I found this book saddening at the same time it was an empowering story as young teen Ellie shoulders her diagnosis and faces it all head on. Even if she feels over whelmed with it all her character allows herself to be sad but gets on with life and doesn't wallow around but embraces her life in the now to enjoy what she can in the face of the unknown. Jason was a great boyfriend to her and doesn't back away because of the cancer but if anything shows he's there for her even more. A beautiful duo to read about.

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
