review 1: I won this book on a First Reads giveaway. I liked the concept for the book and because its a true story it made it that much better. Being a mom myself I can't imagine leaving my child when they are so young. This couple really had quite the love story and in their 22yrs of being together they had done so much and had gone to so many places. It was quite astonishing actually. But you know how you read those family member newsletters that get sent out around the holidays? Some people call them Brag newsletters. After awhile it got tiring reading about the big action packed trips, all the places they had traveled. It seemed to be a bit much at times. But I did like the concept about a list for your child and it can be something you write together as parents. He even said hi... moremself that he never expected the list would be needed and thought she would beat the cancer. So I did admire that the author did invite us into so many personal memories.
review 2: I know this will be terribly unpopular as a review, but whilst I completely empathised with the family and events, the actual writing of the book - by a ghost writer- felt staged and contrived. Reported conversations and analysis of thoughts and actions just didn't ring true which is a shame. I also didn't warm to the rather privileged lifestyle and experiences of the father. A very sad story about a brave family, but not a good read. less
