It made me cry! I did not expect it, but there I was, crying. Sometimes a good cry is good, it has been a while since my last.
Amelia was born with a liver disease, but it has never really affected here. Until her last year of HS when it gets worse. She needs a liver transplant.
I liked Amelia, she tried so hard to go on with her life. To do the things she loves, painting, hanging out with her bestie. Not to be the dying girl since she felt almost like before anyway. She does not want the pitying looks.
Her best friend Syb tries to rally people to sign up for organ donation. She wants to fight!
An old friend shows up and is a light in darkness, sometimes you need that one person that does not talk about it.
No romance. Just a girl trying to come to terms with the fact that she might not get the liver that she needs to live.
And it made me cry! I had to say that again. It felt so real, she was so real, so normal.
A good book, and about a subject that I have not really read about before. And I realised that so many die every day when they do not get the transplants they need, all because people do not sign up to be donors. It does feel like a real waste.
Narration
The narration did a great job with Amelia, I really was in her head. Her other voices were great too. She made me feel.

Wow, if you're anything like me and have loved Jen Malone's fun, voicey books, but also prefer heavy, meaningful books, then this one is for you. No spoilers, but I will say I cried several times and I won't easily forget this story.

A wonderful read with well-drawn characters and great pacing. Normally, I would rate a book like this 4 stars but I sense it's getting underloved because of which it doesn't deserve so I'm trying to compensate.

This book gives off The Fault in Our Stars vibes, replacing the teenage relationship with a love between friends and family.
