When I first read the synopsis on Bookish First I knew I'd be using my points to get this. One of the main characters, Veronica, suffers from blinding migraines as a result of a brain tumor and as someone who suffers from chronic daily headaches and chronic migraines I had already formed a small kinship.
Veronica and Sawyer are two teenagers who should be on the verge of starting their next stage of life...instead Veronica has a brain tumor that seems to be growing and Sawyer is supposed to be the golden boy with the golden future but his life is anything but golden.
A school project brought them together and set them on a course neither one saw coming at all. This YA contemporary romance was as beautiful as it was sad and haunting ( and not just because Veronica can see ghosts).
I found Veronica to be an incredibly brave and beautiful young woman and while her story was sad, Sawyer's broke my whole heart. These two should have been 17 going on 18 not 40. Making decisions that are hard to make as an adult, but it was that maturity that came into play when they both had to make those hard decisions.
This book will stick with me for a while and will be one that I recommend fully.
