This book was amazing and I am so thankful that I was given the chance to read it early. It follows the perspectives of Veronica (V) and Sawyer.
Veronica has a brain tumor, from which she suffers horrible migraines. She takes comfort in seeing her mother's ghost, after she died from a brain tumor. Veronica refuses to follow the path of her mother, spending the last of her days in a hospital, with round after round of radiation and chemo therapy. She is extremely close with her father, something that was really fun to read. She lived life to the fullest, not wanting to let her tumor define her life. She didn't let the taunting of her peers get in the way of being herself, something I admire about her.
Sawyer has been left to take care of his mother and younger sister, and copes through the rush of adrenaline of jumping off of cliffs. He knows it's dangerous and he has been injured before, but he's addicted to the rush and can't stop. He has to deal with trying to admit his own addiction and coming to terms with his mother's alcoholism. I loved watching the character developments and how both Veronica and Sawyer try to deal with the hand life dealt them, and how they try to be more open with themselves and each other. This book tore me up, which is something I can say about very few books. This book was well written and unique, and I highly recommend this book.
