SPOILER ALERT - DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE SOME HINTS ON PLOT!!!

I did not like this book. I do not want to add spoilers here, but will just say that enjoying a love story, and the subsequent years of happiness, only to be smacked in the face with end of life illness is totally unsexy and not at all entertaining. I am all for books about hardships and difficulties, drama and overcoming adversity, etc., but this story seemed to totally negate the many years of happiness for a few years of hardship.
