review 1: Young adult book, Grace is a candy striper at a nursing home and befriends Mr Sands. The banter between the two is funny and they truly care for each other. But he's sick and really wants to die. Premise of the book is interesting, as Grace turns to God for direction in this matter and relationship issues, etc. In fact, lots of relationship issues: with mother, father, sister, boyfriend, folks at nursing home. I had expected more spirituality in the book but it was very subdued. I was also disappointed in the result of the "wanting to die" issue. Nice light humor and interesting, but so many issues that all were not thoroughly resolved.
review 2: this is a young adult book with a very big question... I listened to the book, and I truly enjoyed it... I
... more've thought a lot about it over the last week... It raises the question as to what is merciful vs. what is legal... It speaks of quality of life vs. quantity. And because it's a teen book - it deals with the complications of friends as boyfriends... Probably could have given it 4 stars... less

The humor was sarcastic, dark and sometimes adult. Right up my alley.

Not exactly what I was looking for but enjoyable nonetheless!

Quite a good book for what is such a pathetic title.
