Summary via Goodreads...
With her signature heart and humor, Julie Halpern explores a strained
friendship strengthened by one girl’s battle with cancer.
Alex’s father recently died in a car accident. And on the night of his
funeral, her best friend Becca slept with Alex’s boyfriend. So things aren’t
great. Alex steps away from her friendship with Becca and focuses on her
family.
But when Alex finally decides to forgive Becca, she finds out something
that will change her world again--Becca has cancer.
So what do you do when your best friend has cancer? You help her shave
her head. And then you take her bucket list and try to fulfill it on her
behalf. Because if that’s all you can do to help your ailing friend--you do it.
Why I Can’t Wait....
First off love the title! I’m
getting a different vibe and twist to other books whose storyline revolves
around disease. I can’t wait to see how and if this book is indeed different.
Oh how cool is that cover?!?! Nice pick(:
