While initially intrigued by the premise of this book, I did not mesh with the writing style therefore I was unable to finish this book.

Illness is always so unfair, in young people even more. Reading about this subject didn't appeal much to me, but I started the book and I was hooked. Savannah must deal with the worst disease, with no hope of a cure, which results in drawing Bethany away from her, fearing the ordeal and trying to avoid her suffering.
Finally they reconnect after a while, and their relationship returns with more force and with the intention of enjoy life in the fullest way possible.
The book is sad but hopeful, although it is clear that there will not be a happy ending. But as they say, sometimes the result is not the main thing, it is more important the way in which we achieve it.

I was very curious about this book from its summary, but once I got into it I immediately regretted my decision. Maybe I'm callous, but it had nothing to do with the cancer, but instead the distracting babying nicknames of the main characters. The nickname for Savannah is Savy? Really? Is she two years old? It reminded me of the awful Star Wars prequels with characters giving the nickname "Annie" to Anakin--and this is a man we're supposed to take seriously? In the opening scene Savannah breaks it off with her girlfriend of five (FIVE!) years with a cheating reveal and the girlfriend's only reply is to apologize that her pizza sucked? What!? Did I miss something? I made it to chapter two and immediately regretted that as well. I can tell right now that I will only be distracted by the names (and already it was impossible for me to tell the two characters apart as far as who is who when they're speaking) and the god awful dialogue. It's too bad because the subject matter seemed interesting--but then again, maybe revealing the "big shock" immediately in the story wasn't the strongest creative choice.

Only looking at the last 70% of the book - this is an emotionally gripping story and a tear-jerker. This is not a story about miracles or happy endings, but a wonderfully touching story about two soulmates making the most of whatever time they have. Though the ending is sad, I loved that the book still carried a positive message - even in sickness we can still make choices how we live.

The part that bugs me though is how Beth had been totally oblivious about Savannah's condition and still didn't see any signs of red flag when Sav broke up with her. A couple that close who knew each other for their entire lives.... I'm not finding it convincing Beth can't sense anything.

I would look forward to other works from the author.

This book was wonderful. I was in a consistent state of emotion on a roller coaster that was not in my control and I was okay with that because the love between the two was so pure and so amazing and I'm so glad I got the opportunity to read this.

I got interested in this book because of its gorgeous cover and because the publisher has my name in it! I usually don't read lesbian fiction, but I decided to give it a try.

And it started out good - I even cried a little when I learned about Savannah's secret. However, from that point on, it went downhill. The end only suprised me because I didn't think that it would get that kitschy... I also felt very sorry for Amber and I got angry because Savannah was so very selfish, especially in the end. It might be forgivable because she's sick, but it still upset me that she repeatedly hurt Bethany. That's why it was hard for me to feel with her.

I was a little irritated that there weren't any male characters except for the small part at the gas station. That made it a bit unrealistic. I also didn't like the sex scenes - they were way too explicit and didn't contribute in any way to the story. Overall, the style was okay, but the author seems to really like the word "f*ck", for whatever reason, and uses it as often as possible.

So I would say that it's an average romance novel - not too bad, but not spectacular either - and it was okay. If you don't mind explicit sex scenes and you would like to read a light, sometimes dramatic love story, I'm sure that you'll like the book. It just wasn't my cup of tea.
