This is a difficult story to read.
When Kristen’s sister is diagnosed with ovarian cancer, the characters are thrown into an urgent situation that changes everything.
Kristen is a difficult character to like. She’s a strong character, career-driven to the point that she doesn’t see what’s happening to her relationships with her husband, daughters or friends. I did not connect with this character at all and I found it difficult to like her or even want her to succeed in her mission. Her sister Shelley is a very likeable character, so I kept reading because I wanted Shelley’s story to turn out well. Kristen’s husband, David, is another great character though I felt bad for him because of the way Kristen treated him.
Readers are given an eye-opening experience as to how cancer treatments work. Medical language is used, with reader-friendly explanations that bring another layer to the story.
There are some sweet moments between secondary characters that made the read enjoyable.
I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.
