After reading the 2 previos books, i had to finish the series. After Dawn the girl who was diagnose with cancer twice, survives, she decides to volunteer at a camp dedicated to young kids who has cancer also. The camp was the same camp that she and her best friend sandy attended, in which they told secrets and jokes with eachother. Now that Sandy has passed away, Dawn doesn't know how she can live life anymore. She must overcome obstacles and try to see the bright side of life, when everything you loved and cherish dissapears. After reading this story, it reminded me that there are people out there who are in the same situation as her, but they are strong about it. I think Dawn tries to keep a strong image on the outside, but on the show more inside she's scared. I would recommend it for the people who are looking for tragedies and real life situations. show less
This book is so sad but so deliciously good. My book....well, the ink is smudged because of my constant crying.....I know I shouldn't read them if they make me so sad, but I seriously love these books.
