Life and Other Near-Death Experiences by Camille Pagán

3.0

3.5 stars. A woman finds out she has cancer on the same day her husband tells her she is gay. She runs away to Puerto Rico thinking she is not going to pursue treatment without telling anyone she has cancer. She ends up falling in love with a man while she’s down there who convinces her to get treatment. She eventually goes back to Chicago to sell her apartment then NY to live with her brother while she gets treatment. Book ends with her having twins and still getting cancer treatment. It was a palette cleanser before reading another thriller, but felt a bit cheesy, unpredictable. Also wanted to shake the main character and say what the heck are you thinking on more than one occasion.
