Another kindle freebie I downloaded thinking even though its a kid's book, I might actually enjoy it ~ wrong. I'm not a very religious person. Remarkably, I do tolerate most Christian Fiction as long as the author doesn't shove it down my throat. This book the religion is in the forefront, when I'd much prefer it to be subtle, in the background.

This story is intended for ages 9-12. Its about Kate, the main character/narrator, a 12 year old girl who is having the best summer of her life until tragedy unexpectedly strikes. Life takes on a completely different meaning when she finds out her mother has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. How will she ever come to terms with this revelation?

Book Discussion: Though the plot and storyline interested me, this book suffered from too much GOD Talk for me to truly enjoy it. In addition, even though the narrator was only twelve years old her voice was that of someone much younger. The tone the author used was simple, flat and matter of fact. The story itself lacked tangible details. The word choice was far too simple, told as if an adult was speaking to a child. Sorry, I really wanted to like this one, but it was a total disappointment to me. The best part about the book was it was FREE. ( )
