For starters, I almost threw this book across the room on numerous occasions. The only thing that kept me from doing so was the knowledge that I was reading on my Kindle and I don’t want to break my Kindle. I was so freaking mad at this book. Ask the hubs if you don’t believe me.

Camille Hart and her husband Edward have been married for twenty years, surviving any number of ups and downs, including Camille’s bout with cancer. They’ve got the perfect relationship. I mean really, they make chick flicks out of couples like this. So when Camille finds out that her cancer has returned and she’s got virtually no chance of surviving, they’re both devastated. Edward is even more upset when Camille decides to forego treatment to preserve the quality of the time she has left with her family, meanwhile planning to find someone to replace her after she’s gone.

Does her logic make sense? No, not always. But you can easily understand where she’s coming from as she goes down this road. And Edward… Well, he’s the king of all jerky husbands at this point. Berates her for deciding not to undergo treatment, complains that she wants to replace herself in their family, and instead of trying to be positive and enjoy the time he has left with his wife, let’s just work even longer hours, and go out with other people and lie about it. Makes total sense, right??? Ugh. Men.

I was so freaking vested in Camille and the outcome of her disease and her family, so I was utterly devastated by the way this book panned out. It made me mad, and it made me want to cry. It’s a fabulous read, about a family in a situation that we all hope we never end up in, because there’s no good way to deal with it.
