It was very hard not to compare this story to Sucker. It was a conscious effort. But Ashee delivered on giving you a gripping story,  emotional complex characters with complicated dynamics. I loved the representation in this book, a look into what it’s like to survive a terminal illness (which I think is almost harder than the fight) and I enjoyed the lessons presented on how living, truly living a life is an action and a choice. My personal taste wanted a little more out of the romance. It had kind of a love at first sight energy but I never quite connected to it. But this was so well written with beautiful prose, a gripping plot, and a great tension between the main characters. It was a wonderful read that enjoyed even thought I didn’t absolutely love it.
