My best friend was dying and I was in love with his girl. Andy and I had been best friends since we were eight-years old. Watching him slowly fade away, ever closer to his final breath, made me so incredibly angry. I knew there was nothing I could do to change it--I had given in to despair, but Andy had not. He had one last hand to play. He wasn't going to simply sit back and wait for Death to claim him--not Andy. He was going to live life until he couldn't hold his eyes open any longer. Andy didn't want to die in some sterile hospital and asked me to take him and Emily to the beach. It would be our last road trip together. Emily. Emily was a problem for me. I harbored a secret that would have torn our friendship apart. I was in love with Andy's girl, and had been since she'd walked into our sixth grade class, so many years ago. So what kind of person am I? My best friend is dying, and it's awful--but my heart still aches for his girl.

This book for me was the most heartbreaking, thoughtful book I have read.

There was times were I just was crying hysterically, I don't think I've ever had a book that's made me feel this way.

I loved the chemistry between Andy, Em & Seth. Andy was also one of those selfless people that even though he knew what was going to happen he never felt sorry for himself, but he concentrated on making sure that the two most inportant people in his life will help and love each other.

There were times that this book did have me laughing.

This book if definitely a must read, but you must be warned you better have the tissues handy because you are going to need them

Thank you to Missy for writing such a fantastic book ( )
