This is one of those books where "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

I loved this book - it was a hard book for me to begin due to it being about an illness that has stuck my family but once I began reading it - I could not put it down.

Although this book was fairly predictable, I enjoyed it for what it was (quick reading brain candy).

Natalie gets diagnosed with breast cancer and then her boyfriend leaves her. Sounds depressing but its not. Natalie, under the advice of her doctor starts a journal to work out all her feelings. She does this then sets out on a journey to track down all her old boyfriends to find out why it didn't work. We get to laugh with her while she explores her past and future self. A fun book and I look forward to reading more of Ms. Winn Scotch's work.

This book is about a high-powered assistant to a senator who is dealing with breast cancer. The idea of discovering what is important in life when you think you're going to lose it is certainly not novel. At the same time, I thought this one was very well done with believable characters.

This was an easy read, but by no means what I would call Brain Candy (for those of you who are my friends- you know what I mean). It was a pleasure to read about Natalie, a woman my age who is diagnosed and treated for breast cancer. The story itself was honest, frank, and written wonderfully. Told in first person from Natalie's point of view, it was candid and I felt like a friend was telling me her story throughout the book. Thankfully, there is a happy ending in sight, even at times when I thought there may not be. Sometimes I need the happily ever after instead of the sad truth of the world.

I truly love Allison Winn Scotch’s writing and how she expertly crafts her characters. As with her other books, I finished this one with a feeling of gratitude for getting to spend time with these characters and their stories. Although this book covers the serious topic of cancer, it does so with in a way that makes the reader more positive and uplifted by the end of the book.

Somehow, I just can relate with breast cancer setting.
