excellent 1st novel. Natalie has cancer and her travails are splendidly told with raw emotions as well as humor. This is a wonderful book, with a story line that should but does not bring the reader down. I highly recommend it. (

LOVED this book! It kept me awake. It was about a 30 year old re-evaluating her life after a breakup and breast cancer diagnosis. It was honest, funny and a GREAT read...oddly uplifting! I would highly recommend it! (

I really enjoyed this book even though it is about a very sensitive subject. I just seemed to really like the main character. I plan on reading more books by this author. (

It didn't start out as the worst day of Natalie Miller's life...

As the top aide to New York's powerful woman senator, Natalie's moving rapidly up the political ladder. She works hard, stays late, and enjoys every bit of it. Then her neglected boyfriend announces he's leaving. But that's only the beginning. Her doctor tells her she has breast cancer—and raw ambition and ruthless determination alone are not going to cure it. Suddenly the life Natalie needs to change is her own.

The time has come for her to take a tough look at the choices she's made. She'll start by tracking down the five loves of her life in order to assess what went wrong. And by revisiting her past, Natalie just might discover exciting new paths to unexplored places—and learn how to stop barreling through life long enough to really embrace it.
