I loved this book. You do not know what Lurlene McDaniel can write until you read this book.

April Manning is a popular girl at her highschool. She has the perfect life, the perfect boyfriend, the perfect friends...But that all goes downhill when she learns that her brain tumor has started to grow again. She is in the hospital where a boy around her own age, Mark, takes a particular liking to her. When he asks her out, April tells him she has a boyfriend, which she believes until she goes back to find him with another girl.

Mark and April end up going out, and it's a perfect relationship...except Mark has Cystic Fibrosis. April learns this and does not worry about it. On Mark's birthday, he gives April a present. As she opens it, he asks her to marry him. She goes to his race, and as he races his car catches on fire. He is immediately rushed to the hospital where no one knows if he will live or die.
