I havent read it ^^ I wanna read it someday!

Sounds like a book I would be into. I'm not into 'love' books or disease, but I would love to read what will happen with his life. Will it end up good? What will happen in the way? So much questions of suspense lol. I'll search it in my school library, maybe ask my parents if I or they can check it out from our Public Library if they have it. If it has an i pact on a person's life, I would love to read it. Although I am told to be the sensitive type, about others and myself, so yeah. Thanks for sharing BasketballLuver.

I understand what you are trying to say. It actually doesn't really focus largely on the romance at all. It is only little snippets of it and they aren't even really big. They are just their to show the true supportive feeling and so on. It does help you get a better idea of Leukemia, but it isn't like a whole non-fiction account of it. I am not very sensitive and am not very emotional when it comes to book so I only cried once when I read this very simple book and it was very surprising. =]

I havent read it before, but it sounds like a great book!
But like they say, you can't judge a book by it's cover! :lol:
But, your what talking about isn't about the cover though...
Still!

That sounds like a really good book. I'll have to see if my library has it

As Jeanna says it sounds like a book but i pretty much like it!
