Eve knows she's lucky. She's a successful author with movies made of her work, has a wonderful husband and five children who love her, and she's on top of the world. Until she wakes up in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there and finds out that cancer is attacking her brain. She must relearn to do everything, including talking and retaining information. Through it all, she has her loving family and a team of cheerleading professionals to help her succeed.
We experience doubt, fear, and surprising optimism right along with Eve in a semibiographical novel that feels intensely personal. The warmth and humor I've always associated with a Sophie Kinsella novel are there, enhanced by a very human connection to what she's going through. Kinsella doesn't shy away from all the scary bits, but she puts all the emphasis on the positive moments and little wins that show there's always hope. I really appreciated that.

Very happy thanks to NetGalley and The Dial Press for the touching read!
