Description
Marry the love of my life.Become a mother. Write a book.
Number one was complete. I was well on my way to checking off goals two and three, before a cancer diagnosis derailed my plans. A story meant to chronicle the journey of impending motherhood with wit, became a brutally honest memoir of living life to the fullest. Make every breath count.
When finally confronted with the knowledge the cancer is terminal, I search for a way to accomplish all the things I wanted to do within my lifetime... when I don't have a lifetime left. Every Last Drop is the heartfelt, unflinching, and original story of how when faced with the hardest truth, we finally learn how far we will go to discover who we are before it's too late.

My Review
What an emotional rollercoaster. Every Last Drop is a gripping story about learning you have cancer and that after exhausting every resource realize there is nothing left to do, or is there? It is a heart wrenching story, but worth it.

I received this book free in exchange for my honest opinion.

I highly recommend this book.

What a wonderful, moving , tender book! This book tackles a very emotive subject but in a sensitive, informative manner that really helps the reader understand the complexity of the decisions that are made!
Tess has been diagnosed with a glioblastoma that hasn’t responded to chemotherapy and radiotherapy and the only option left to her now is palliation, however tess still wants to maintain some control and dignity so explores assisted suicide/ end of life act. Together with her husband Kyle sister Ellie and her dad they all embark upon a heartbreaking emotive journey, this could read as depressive and morbid but it is uplifting and heartwarming and shows the power of positivity and family love and ultimately a beautiful death surrounded by loved ones.A real tearjerker of a read that has touched me and will remain with me for a long time.
Thank you so much net galley for this read and introduction to a new author
