Slow-starting. A bit uneventful of a book. The only eventful topic that came about in the book was the main character's best friend finding out that she was terminally ill. I felt that the book captured a glimpse of the way the illness appears (sporadically and out-of-nowhere). Half way through reading this, I realized I must not know what this book was about or if it was "about" anything in particular at all. The turn of events (Roxanne discovering that she was in the final stages of pancreatic cancer) was like a bomb dropping on me. It was slightly left-field, however, I suppose that is pretty accurate reflected against reality. The ending was awful and abrupt. Most of the time while I was reading this book, I was reading to get through the book faster. It may not have been a bad choice to read, it just wasn't my type of book.

Tears at the end... I liked this story of friendship and fitting into a new family.
