    Natalie Ward This would have to be one of the most beautifully moving books I have ever read. Even months after finishing it, I still can't get it out of my head. Incredible - come and see my full review at www.ourbookclub.net.au by Natalie Ward

  • Heartbreaking5

    Bianca Barber This book is one of the most beautiful, endearing and heartbreaking books that I have ever read. Tessa became the friend I never met and I mourned her when it got to the end of the book. I will be very surprised if you read this book and don't shed a tear or two. Honest, poignant, and heartwrenching. This book will make you change the way you view your life and make you realise how lucky you are to be alive. by Bianca Barber

    Reviewed by Julie M. Prince for TeensReadToo.com4

    TeensReadToo I devoured this book in two days. It called to me. Beckoned me across the room and begged me to pick it up and finish what I'd started. If I hadn't needed to eat and sleep, I'd have finished it in mere hours. It was that vital to keep going.

    Tessa Scott keeps going, too. She keeps writing on the wall and adding to the list of things she wants to do before she dies. Tess's life is being driven from her by leukemia before she herself can even drive a car. It's not fair. She wants a boyfriend. She wants normal.

    Tessa pushes. She pushes against the people who want to be near her. She pushes against the rules she's been forced to follow throughout her brief life. She pushes against death.

    She keeps breathing. In and out. It's simple. Except, it's not that simple.

    This book gives a promise. This book keeps its promise. This book is real. It is deep and winding and important. It is beautiful and strong and eloquent and everlasting. It is just beautiful. by TeensReadToo
