Title: Well written, thought provoking read
Review: This book tells the story of a family with a terminally ill child through multiple points of view. The book really held my interest and was fast-moving. The author conveys the frustrations the other characters feel about the 13-year-old daughter's wish to sue her family. Her motivations are unclear and her moods change constantly. While the daughter's actions are realistic for a teen, I felt that her language was not. This was one weak spot in the book, as she often spouted comebacks or phrases that seemed too glib and adult. (Saying this as parent of a pretty sharp-tongued 13 year old). Overall, this was an engrossing read with a couple of surprising twists at the end, which I won't reveal. I could easily see this becoming a movie. The book brings up difficult issues which would make it an excellent book club read, and I think any parent will find it fascinating.
