Age recommended- 16
" With her signature heart and humor, Julie Halpern explores a strained friendship strengthened by one girl’s battle with cancer.
"Alex’s father recently died in a car accident. And on the night of his funeral, her best friend Becca slept with Alex’s boyfriend. So things aren’t great. Alex steps away from her friendship with Becca and focuses on her family.
But when Alex finally decides to forgive Becca, she finds out something that will change her world again—Becca has cancer.
So what do you do when your best friend has cancer? You help her shave her head. And then you take her bucket list and try to fulfill it on her behalf. Because if that’s all you can do to help your ailing friend—you do it."
Okay. I was sucked in by the cover. Anyone else? Because this book was pretty disappointing. Add that to the amount of swearing (unrealistic) and, erm, adult content (if you know what I mean) and you get the disaster that is The F it list. The plot seemed interesting, but it was slow and boring and Alex was horrible.
Points given:
+1 for the idea. Sure it's far from original, but it's realistic.
-1for Leo. Did anyone else thing he was a scumbag at times?
+1 for Becca- the only good charecter, she was funny, witty and crazy.
-1 for the swearing.
-1 for Alex who is a total b**** at most times. Becca apoligised for what happened with Davis!
-1 for the humour (apart from Beccas)
-1 for the gross content. Number eleven on the bucket list... Just no.
-1 for the ending! Call me a villan but I thought it would be a more heartfelt book if... No, that's a spoiler. Apologies.
So it's points are:
-5
Well done, Julie.
