Once you get used to how the author flips back and forth from the present to past, to pain medication induced fantasy, it is easy to follow. A beautiful story that will touch your heart.

Fascinating novel of the memories of a well-lived, passionate life. I really enjoyed the unique way that this author brought out the emotions and thoughts of a woman now dying, looking back on the greatest love of her life. A beautiful, intelligent read.

Really enjoyed this. The format switches from past to present and can be a bit tricky at first, but once you catch on it's no problem. I liked this one because it really made me think about things--life, death, regrets, missed opportunities, etc. I enjoyed the movie as well.

Couldn't make it through this, just didn't hold my attention for some reason.

Compelling story of dying woman remembering defining moment from her early adult life. Part dream, part reminicing, part wishful thinking, part drug indoced fantasy. How a single weekend can impact a life forever.

A heart-wrenching story of life and love and regret. The author brings us inside the mind of a person dying of a painful illness.
