Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Angelica

This book made me smile and cry at the same time. It's about a girl named April Lancaster and Mark Gianni, and how love can help people overcome the obstacles that life puts you through.

April and Mark meet in the hospital. For a few days, April had been staying there for testing because a tumor in her head had begun to grow again. Mark was there because he has cystic fibrosis.

The whole time April had been in the hospital, Mark had been watching her because he thought she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, and one day he just walked into the room and told her that he had to meet her because she was the girl he intended to marry.

This statement kind of freaked April out, and she didn't want to be anywhere near him. But, after a while she begins to soften up, and she decides to get to know him. Before you know it, she's fallen in love with him, and on Mark's birthday he asks her to marry him.

Now, here comes the sad part: One thing that April learns about Mark is that he likes to race cars. He would have like to have been a professional racer, but racing is bad for his cystic fibrosis.

For one of his races, he invited his family and April to go see him, but the race does not end happily. During the race, Mark gets into a wreck and has to go to the hospital.

If the accident had happend to some one else they might have survived, but since Mark has CF he didn't make it. But, before he died April decided to marry him in the hospital.

This book is sure to make you cry. I know I did. I loved it, and I'm pretty sure I'll read it again. I hope you like it.
