I read up to 52% of the book and decided I wasn't going to finish it. It wasn't particularly good or bad up until that point, but we discover that Janica had just found out that her cancer had returned, and from the way the story was going, it didn't seem to me that there was any hope at all.

The story was apparently going to focus on how Janica was going to live well despite the prognosis, and how Thomas was going to love her, but she was going to die anyway. I can't say for certain this is what happens in the book because I didn't finish it, but it seemed that way, and I couldn't bring myself to take this journey with them.

I am all for stories of people living well and loving well despite life-threatening illnesses, and I am sure there is a lot of wisdom to be learned if I had continued the story, but it is just a little too close to home for me. I had the same cancer as Janica does in the book, non-Hodgkins lymphoma, and I don't want to read about someone dying from it despite living well.
