Veronica has a secret: she has a brain tumor, and she thinks it's spreading. She's about to start a new school year, and unfortunately, her best friends are either going to college or won't be attending school full time, so she's going to be a little lonely. Many of the other kids at her school think she's weird.
Sawyer just moved into the floor downstairs from Veronica, where her father is a landlord. Even though everybody at the school think he has everything together, he's got a secret too: he has an addiction to jumping off cliffs, and his mom likes to drink a lot on the weekends.
With Sawyer living downstairs from Veronica, they need to confront their problems... and they find out they like each other.
I loved this book for so many reasons. For one, I love the voice of the author. She brings these characters to life so well. Additionally, I like the message this book sends. It speaks about addiction, alcholism, and being truthful with your friends. There's heartbreak, children that have to deal with crappy parents, and a main character who has to learn to live even when she thinks she's dying.
I highly recommend it!
