Whew. This book knocked me on my ass. I thought I'd be okay to read it, but I absolutely was not. My mom is currently battling stage 2 breast cancer and while her prognosis is good, I had so many of the fears that came to life in this book. It's a gorgeous expose on the realities of cancer and what it can do to a life.

Wonderful book. Cried thru a lot of it.
Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free it had no bearing on the rating I gave it..

Such a beautiful and heartbreaking memoir, which brought me to tears many times. Such strength and honesty amongst so many heartbreaking and painful challenges. A lesson in the power of friendship and love whilst facing unbearable grief. I'll be thinking about this book for a while.
