From the Back Cover

When sixteen-year-old Alice is diagnosed with leukemia, her prognosis is grim. To maximize the time she does have, she vows to spend her final months righting wrongs—however she sees fit. She convinces her friend Harvey, who she knows has always had feelings for her, to help her with a crazy bucket list that's as much about revenge (humiliating her ex-boyfriend and getting back at her archnemesis) as it is about hope (doing something unexpectedly kind for a stranger and reliving some childhood memories). But just when Alice's scores are settled, she goes into remission.Now Alice is forced to face the consequences of all that she's said and done, as well as her true feelings for Harvey. But has she done irreparable damage to the people around her—and to the one person who matters most?

Reviewing a book that captures a huge part of your heart and mind, that hits all your right buttons, that speaks on so many levels to you, is sometimes impossible to do. How do you really convey everything amazing about this book, without being able to give needed details due to spoilers? That's where I'm at with this one. I feel like I should say, I know Julie. But that in no way influences my intense love of this book. Honestly, I'd almost wish we weren't friends so maybe people would believe me that much more when I say this is one of those books you must read. No matter what. (But I love Julie, thus the almost).But this book. I connected so hard to Alice. I love this prickly girl who flat out gets revenge on people because she thinks she's dying, and she's angry, and hey she won't be around to handle the fall out. No, she's not a nice person in a lot of ways. But she goes through so much growth. I love the girl she becomes, the change in how she views the world. And, oh, god, the sweetness and connection between her and Harvey. I can see why readers might not like Alice. She does some awful things. But I rooted hard for her. And if I'm being totally honest, I saw part of myself in her. I think whether people want to admit it or not, everyone at least imagines what it'd be like to do what you want, regardless of the consequences. Then there's Alice, who really does it. I admire that. Even if it's in part because she won't have to handle the fallout. But I also just admire how take life by the horns she is, how determined she is. There is an immense strength in this girl, and I can't help but love her.And Harvey. Oh, sweet, sweet Harvey. I love this boy. To pieces. He is so stunningly different than a lot of guys in YA. At the start, he and Alice haven't talked in way too long, despite the friendship that used to be between them. There is such palpable pain there, and it drew me right in. Then comes Alice's diagnosis, and he's back in her life. He knows she's using him, but he doesn't care. And maybe to some that makes him weak, but to me, it just melted me for this boy, this person who cares about someone so much they take the time they can get, do what they can to help that person in what is likely their final months. Yes, she treats him really crappy at times, and yet, I could never hate her for it, or hate him for taking it. Something about these two, both apart and together, enamored me and broke me. For all the ways he's possibly weak, he's got this huge strength, and a breaking point of his own. He challenges Alice, and he challenges himself. And these two just... break me. There's no other word for it. Harvey is amazing. He's that solid thing you can fall back on, yet he's also that thing that will let you fall when it's best for you int he end.The pure brilliance of this book to me is not only the stunning concept, but how amazingly its executed. Told in dual POV between Harvey and Alice, but also in a nonlinear fashion, with the past mixed into the present on both sides. It's a style that I sometimes can't wrap my head around trying to do, and Julie does it so, so, so well. I followed the overall storyline so well, adding these pieces of the past to the here and now, combining the stories and constantly feeling my emotions shift and change. The voice is distinct and easy to fall into. Everything about this book sang to me. From the not so easy to swallow choices Alice makes to the raw yet sweet friendship and romance to the roller coaster of emotions throughout.I'm calling it now. This is my best book of 2014.

I actually wanted to read this after reading some of the reviews. I thought it would be great to read a book about a dying character who wasn't serenely trying to make peace with it. Even Alice points out that what she really wants is the last word. I thought that could be a great read and incredibly honest.But the fact is it's not just about getting the last word. She's just mean and she knows it. There's one part where she actually blames it on drugs and Harvey tells her it wasn't even real drugs that she took- it's just her. You feel sorry for her at some points through the story but it's really, really hard to like someone who knows they're being awful but can't or won't stop. You do however feel sorry for pretty much everyone else whose been trying to take care of and help her even as she makes them miserable.However that aside in the end I did enjoy the book. I did feel like Alice, Harvey and pretty much everyone else dealt with their stuff and moved forward appropriately and honestly. I even appreciated Alice. So if you can stomach a miserable (but brutally honest) main character then I'd recommend this one for a different kind of kids with cancer book.

This book was recommended for me based off others i had read.I read the blurb and just had to buy it. It sounded amazing.There's been about 3 books in the past 5 years that I almost didn't finish, and this is one of those. I just could not connect and get into the story. I gobble books up and usually finish a good book within a day, 2 tops. This one took me a good week or so.I hate that. The writing is great, the story is fine. I don't know what it is.

Some people have compared this book to The Fault in Our Stars, and they're right ... if by the same you mean that there is a girl who has cancer and some romance thrown in for good measure. But that is as far as the similarities go, in my opinion. This book lacks the humor and the heart of John Green's popular book. Unfortunately, the success of this story hinges on how you feel about Alice, the main character of this novel. And unfortunately for me, I couldn't stand her.Alice is a girl who has gone through the horrific and painful experience of cancer and the treatments to cure it that can be almost as awful as the cancer itself. Her prognosis is not good, so Alice has spent a year preparing to die, only to discover that she has miraculously gone into remission. The cancer is gone. Alice has a future. Great news, right? Well, for Alice ... not so much. While people sometimes take time when learning of a terminal diagnosis to go through a bucket list of experiences to help them leave this life having lived it to the fullest they could as long as they could, Alice chooses to make a bucket list of revenge plans that involve publicly humiliating the people in her life who have done her wrong. She burns one bridge after another in her life, dragging the ever faithful Harvey along for the ride.Harvey is AMAZING. He is the one bright spot in this otherwise dismal story. He is faithful and strong and caring and forgiving, almost too much. Alice uses him again and again, manipulating his emotions, knowing that he is in love with her and has been since they were children. Again and again he returns to Alice when everyone else has left her. His love is valiant, but ultimately it is too hard to root for him, because although he loves Alice deeply, it is too hard to think that she deserves him. Harvey deserves sooooo much better. I root for Harvey in this story, but I don't root for Harvey and Alice. Unfortunately, that is the driving direction of the story, so it harmed my enjoyment of things.It was interesting to analyze my feelings as I read Alice's story. The story goes between present day situations and flashbacks to points during Alice's diagnosis and treatment for cancer. I found myself at the beginning trying to almost forgive Alice for her horrible actions and thoughts, thinking, "Well, she has cancer. Who am I to judge her for how she handles such a difficult situation?" But as the story continued more and more I found myself saying, "No. She's just a horrible person with cancer. The cancer didn't make her horrible. That was all there before the cancer started, and it seems to still be around even after the cancer has left." And that's true. Cancer doesn't magically changed what is inside a person. It can intensify things a bit. It can rearrange life priorities. But sometimes a horrible person is still a horrible person, no matter what calamity hits them.If this story had been more of a story of redemption, I think I could have really enjoyed it. Alice has a mess of problems, and she does deal with them ... eventually. But this redemption doesn't really begin until the book is 90% complete. That was too long for me. By that point I had already decided that I didn't care for Alice, and I was actively cheering moments when it seemed as if Harvey was moving on. I was too far gone as a reader to get back on the "Go Alice!" train. And then the ending didn't spend any time at all on the happy results of the redemption. There wasn't enough payback for the time spent in horrible Alice's head.I do think that there will be many who do like this story. It is well written, and I am sure that there are great themes and lessons to be learned from this story. For me, however, I could never work past my intense dislike of Alice and her actions toward others, especially Harvey. I can only give this one two stars. It was okay. (But keep a look out for this author. There is lots of talent here. I am sure I would really enjoy other books by her that are less angsty).
