I really enjoyed this book. The tension built slowly, as a summer storm builds, skies getting darker. When the storm finally broke, it was almost a relief. This coming of age tale was not focused on just a teen's point of view. It brought in other characters who were each …more going through a crisis. (less)

First, let me start off by saying, I'm a crier. That being said, this is a sad book. Right off, you know there's not going to be a miracle. But once you accept the fact that Rabbit Hayes is going to die of cancer, it leaves you free to enjoy the close relationships she has …more with her entire family. This book is more about family and less about dying. In the end, it was uplifting in a way I didn't see coming. I enjoyed it very much. (less)

I was very surprised to find myself held captive by this story. I have stayed away from graphic novels because I assumed the use of less words was not really relevant to reading. I was a word snob. This story held my attention but it didn't satisfy like a traditional novel.
