This is not going to be your usual happy ending, even a happy ending for a teens with cancer story.  I’m trying really hard not to spoil anything, so you may want to stop before going any further, because my thoughts may possibly spoil stuff for you.  So, the ending, well the ending made me think a lot about the very end of the Titanic movie.  If you remember that scene, you’ll know what I mean when you read this one.  I like that our characters did what any normal teen would do in this type of situation, or what you’d hope they’d do.  I like that the author made things happen realistically. Things weren’t miraculously okay after the big scare. There were repercussions for doing the irresponsible things.  Life-threatening repercussions.   The big “cure” or solution wasn’t the perfect solution in the end.  But then, they were still just teens.  They were real.  And the author was able to throw in her usual sexiness that I know and enjoy in her books, but she was able to make it teenage realistic.  Not just that, but it was today’s teen realistic.  It made sense for what teens today might do or know or use to become knowledgeable.  

Overall a great book, just solidified for me that I’ll read anything by this author and probably love it.  Also found out this is a bit of a spin-off from another book by the author that I’ll have to go back and read.
