Goodreads Description: “For the first time in my life, I didn’t feel envy …” Tess is the exact opposite of her beautiful, athletic sister. And that’s okay. Kristina is the sporty one, Tess is the smart one, and they each have their place. Until Kristina is diagnosed with cancer. Suddenly Tess is the center of the popular crowd, everyone eager for updates. There are senior boys flirting with her. Yet the smiles of her picture-perfect family are cracking and her sister could be dying. Now Tess has to fill a new role: the strong one. Because if she doesn’t hold it together, who will? Janet Gurtler tests the bonds of sisterhood in this moving debut that readers of Jodi Picoult and Sarah Dessen will savor.
Sounds interesting! I like Sarah Dessen's books too.

This sounds very sad. I don't know if I will read this one, but I'm looking forward reading everyones thoughts on this one. Maybe the reviews can change my mind. ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said about diseases and the intrigue -- there's just something about books that don't back away from dealing with tough topics like that. And, like you, I also enjoy Sarah's Dessen books. My favorite one of hers is The Truth about Forever.
