Love the sound of Tai and Juliet's relationship! and Shirley dear, you're SO not the only one. I'm so scared I won't get into my first choices this upcoming year as well TT o TT This sounds like such a bittersweet read! Since I've been on a contemporary roll, I shall check this one!

Poor Tai, I just want to reach in and hug him and magically change the story to be one where he's not sick. I'm glad that despite the quick beginning, everything came together for you and you ended up really enjoying it. I practically need that box of tissues already and haven't even read one page! *sobs*Jenny @ Supernatural Snarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3472660668173459751.post-86498037620439369772012-09-07T18:43:32.234+10:002012-09-07T18:43:32.234+10:00I tend to stay away from books where someone is su...I tend to stay away from books where someone is suffering from a disease, but this sounds like too good of a book to miss, intense and emotional. I can totally relate to the stress of being in Year 12, having just gone through it, about to start my final year before I head off to uni (assuming I'M lucky enough to get a place somewhere :S). The relationship between Tai and Juliet sounds really sweet and definitely heart-breaking.

Apparently I like wasting my money on tissues *sniffles* This sounds like such a fantastic novel, even despite a few flaws you found with it. I love that you're able to connect with the characters and it's AUSTRALIAN! 100 points for being local! <br /><br />And ditto what Mandee said in the comments. I have full faith that you will do AMAZING, but regardless of your marks, there are ALWAYS so many different paths to obtain your goal <3 Fantastic review!

Is it strange that I have a liking for books with a depressing sort of theme? I want to see how Tai and Juliet overcome Tai's illness - I agree, fate is sooo cruel, why can't everything be happy? :'( Dealing with exams and the stress that comes with it is hard enough so I'm intrigued to find out how they cope with the pain and sadness of an illness? I want this book, I want this book!!!!! Shame the beginning was too fast but I'm glad you still loved it and cried over it!<br /><br /><br />And a massive GOOD LUCK from the UK <333 I'm sure you will do fabulous in your exams and I hope you get into the uni of your choice!!!!Beverley@A Reading Daydreamerhttp://a-reading-daydreamer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3472660668173459751.post-72991766450907598662012-09-07T18:43:21.225+10:002012-09-07T18:43:21.225+10:00I hadn't heard of this book before now, but it...I hadn't heard of this book before now, but it definitely seems like something that I would enjoy.

I'm taking a break from them to do some happy reading so this might be on my TBR for a while. It sounds amazing and heart breaking.
