Very cheesy but ultimately well intentioned, Very well done and realistic characters - Bleak but hopeful, it balanced the two well! Kinda lost me with what happened to the one gay character but I very much enjoyed this book.

Honestly, I read this book for a class I’m taking on the representation of terminal illness in YA literature. I think what helps this book the most is the dual narration; experiencing the trials and tribulations of the main characters lives with cystic fibrosis through their eyes just brings you that much closer to them. A good tug at the heart strings overall.
