Don't Die, My Love

This is a very emotional book about young love and the potential of speration due to sickness. Every page sucks you in to the story and you feel everything the characters feel. Honestly it's the best read I've had in a while. I feel in love with the characters and I cried with the characters. I definitely recommend this book!!

I am in love with all of Lurlene McDaniel's books. Don't die, My love happens to be one of my favorites. If you like sad books that make you cry, any of McDaniel's books are good for you. You should definitely read this one- it's amazing. It has just the right amount of love and sadness to make it interesting *eye wiggle* and sad at the same time. This book gets 5/5 stars from me!

I honestly have no idea why, but I had some high expectations for this book. I literally have never even heard of this book (or author.) I think when I read the synopsis it appealed to me, but..the expectations were high. The character I liked the most was Luke. Julie..she irritated me (like 75% of the time.) I don’t really have much else to say, but that it was an ok book.

So much potential with this story but McDaniel goes the cliched route with no twists or turns or anything remotely interesting that I couldn't have predicted a mile away.

This book is one of my all time favorites! It is such a touching story and it totally made me cry! It taught me about courage and stuff like that! I think everyone should read it!

Luke asked Julie to marry him in the sixth grade. Now they are in high school and are deeply in love. When Luke becomes seriously ill, the couple wonders if their love can survive, now and forever.

Tough Topics: Cancer, Love, Friendship, Death
Luke and Julie are truly in love with each other, they have been dating for many years. Julie notices that Luke has a lump on the side of his neck, and she tells him to go see a doctor. Luke doesn’t want to because he says it’s only the flu, but he only gets worse. So then he decides to go see the doctor. Julie gets the shock of her life when she finds out that he doesn’t have the flu instead he has cancer. Luke starts chemo right away; Julie spends day and night with Luke in the hospital. Luke gets skinnier and starts losing his hair. He gets in remission for a while, and then he gets really sick again. Luke becomes very weak and very tired. Julie is terrified that show more she will lose the love of her life. Luke goes under surgery to remove his tumor on his lung; it’s very close to his heart. The surgery is very dangerous and life threatening. He promises he will marry Julie when he gets better. He went to surgery and a doctor came out and told Julie and the family that Luke didn’t make it. Julie started to cry she couldn’t believe that Luke died. It was hard for Julie to live without Luke, but she knew he will be waiting for her in Heaven.
People who should read this book should be teenagers, because Luke and Julie are teenagers. Readers should like love, friendship, and sad books, because that’s what this book is about.
I give this book a five, because it was the best book I have ever read in my life! It kept my attention through the whole book. It was very touching, it made me cry. I think everyone should read this book. It’s worth it!
