I will admit, I'm very glad the ending was in the title. Even knowing that, I still felt my breath catching with concern at the end, as though I was afraid the author lied. The author did not lie, and I was relieved.
I'm giving this book 4 stars because it was good and beautiful and made me feel.
The artwork, simple in a way far different than simplicist, added so much to the words on each page. From the colors to the emotions, the soul of the story.
Despite having never gone though anything like that in my own life, I felt as though I could empathis, if not actually relate. As though I could have an idea of what it might be like.
I think this story is good for all ages, because it is honest without being cruel. From the curious adult, to the child trying to understand, I think everyone can learn from it.

This is a graphic novel about a teenage girl with cancer, she is waiting for the response from the doctor of what her faith will be. Meanwhile, we get a story of her life and her thoughts on growing up sick.

I thought this story was really cute and touching. It is quite short, and I read it really quickly. It still manages to bring a punch and get you in the feels. The illustrations are unique and really brings forward the emotions in the story.

The ending is told to us in the title, but that is okay. The story gives hope. And I think that was most point. That through all the suffering and hard life this girl has had, finally she can breathe and be free for a time. We don’t find out what happens to her after, so I’m hoping she is well.

All in all, a short, touching and cute story, with the illustrations that fits perfectly. And an hopeful ending. 3.75/5 stars!

Thank you so much to Netgalley for providing me with this eArc.

This young adult story was so good and the artwork was absolutely great paired with it. This a story of a girl that's been going through cancer treatments. It starts after all her treatments when her and her parents are going to the hospital to see if the treatments have worked. Then it dives into everything she's been through while they wait to see the doctor. It goes over some of her frustrations with people treating her differently because of the illness and her frustrations with herself. It's also a story about first loves. It was super emotional and yes...it made me cry.
There are so many important parts of this story and that I wouldn't be able to pick out just one or two to quote here. Just go read it!

A Story About Cancer With a Happy Ending is a non-fiction (I believe), short illustrated book about a teenage girl who has leukemia. It is beautifully illustrated and very immersive - I felt all the emotions the narrator was going through. It was interesting to read from the perspective of someone who has cancer and thinks they are going to die. In this case, there's a happy ending (as you can tell from the title).

This book is short, sweet but also incredibly moving.
It is a reminder of all of the things that we take for granted, presented in a heart wrenching and emotional tale of a young girl with Cancer.
The illustrations are wonderful.
The content is intense yet so easy to read.

Beautifully illustrated, this graphic novel sheds a light on what it is like to live day to day with cancer. It only makes up 49 pages in total so it’s an incredibly short read, but the artwork and color theme are pleasing to the eye. I’m giving it three stars because I can’t imagine this is something I’ll think about months from now and remember, let alone want to purchase, but in the short time that it took me to read it - I liked it. The ending was sweet and like the title says, there is a happy ending.

A Story About Cancer (With a Happy Ending) goes on sale January 29th if you wish to pick up a copy. Thank you India Desjardins, Marianne Ferrer, and Quarto Publishing Group (Lincoln Children’s Books) for supplying me with an illustrated ebook copy via Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

This book was good! The art style was fascinating and very appealing to me. The story itself was very touching, sad at times and happy in others. It´s a quick read that´s great for reading with a younger kid, but still enjoyable if you're older! What made this book different has to be the art style, i haven't seen anything quiet so similar. And the narration was great!

Fortunately the author lets you know from the cover that this is a story "with a happy ending." That makes it easier to read.

This book is told from the point of view of a fifteen year old girl who has been treated for cancer. She voices feelings that young cancer patients most likely experience but do not, perhaps, share with those around them. For example, the teen in this book does not want to be told that she is brave. She does not feel that she is and she feels pressure to have to be that way, fearing that she will disappoint others. This girl talks frankly about what it is like to be in the hospital, her sadness at the death of a friend and her teenage crush on a boy named Victor. Everything that is expressed feels very genuine. Reading this even though the reader knows the ending from the title, there is suspense. The reader will feel relief as they close the book.

I recommend this one for kids of the right age; it will help them to know that they are not alone with their feelings but that others have experienced them as well The book is also a valuable resource for parents and caretakers. It will help them to be more sensitive to the person that is going through the experience.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an important read.

I think about everything I'll miss if they tell me I'm going to die . . . My mom, my dad, my sister, cookies, TV shows I'll never get to see the end of, walking outside when it's really nice, the smell of fall, the starry sky on a full moon, my grandparents, my grandpa's lasagna, kissing Victor, Victor's eyes, Victor's voice, Victor's smell, Victor's hands . . . Victor.

This book will break your heart and heal it over again. While the book only starts a few minutes before the end of the story, it recaps fifteen years of a struggle against cancer. Additionally, the illustrations emphasize the emotions described by the character.

The book is only 49 pages 'long, so it's a super quick read. A moving story, filled with good will, certainly, but that did not enjoy me more than that, due to its great predictability (yes, the title expresses it well, but I would have expected more than that). Maybe this graphic novel will enjoy a different audience than me ...

This illustrated story is one of the most thoughtful that I have read in a long time, what it lacks in length it makes up for in content. Our main character is battling cancer. Don’t tell her how strong she is, that doesn’t make her feel better and she goes into detail about the guilt that entails. This is not a rosy picture of cancer, there is loss and pain and depressive thoughts. There is also love and friendship and acceptance of something that a fifteen year old shouldn’t have to deal with, but so many teenagers do. The artwork is extremely complimentary to the story and in fact gives the words more meaning by helping the reader see the unspoken thoughts of the character.

The ending is indeed happy, and that may be the only difficult part for someone reading this and dealing with cancer, but not everyone gets that happy ending in this book and I think that is reality. It is also made clear that surviving cancer is not a matter of strength or just wanting it bad enough, and that there is no obvious reason why some do and some don’t.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
