I have long wondered whether I should buy me this book because I actually currently only read books by Jodi Picoult. However, the story has me very appealing. I think I read it within 2 days. Not only is it well written, it hits a right to the heart and to come to knowledge a lot of thought again that had been even in the age - only that you yourself did not have to fight with death. The protagonist has the power to make their lives a bit and catch up on all the things of which they know that they would otherwise never experience in spite of heavy fatality. So the story goes from the first time up to the first love and the violations of laws, and in spite of the overwhelming theme an unexpected lightness!
