Everyone is waiting for her to die: her parents,loyal Harvey, the boy who has loved her since childhood,and Alice most of all. But she has made her peace, having ticked items off her bucket list, most of which involve mean-spirited revenge pranks on those who wronged her (including her ex-boyfriend, Luke). But then, miraculously, she goes into remission. Now what? Debut author Murphy switches points of view between Harvey and Alice, and between Then and Now,all this back and forth gives readers much-needed insight into the complexity of Alice and Harvey's relationship. In the now, Alice's greatest fear in life has become expectations, and she pushes patient, long-suffering Harvey away. What's interestingand refreshingabout this book is that, yes, Alice has cancer, but she is not a likable girl, and readers' emotions will be all over the map even as they continue to root for her ultimate act of redemption. Alice and Harvey's relationship is raw, honest, moving, and unapologetic in its depiction of their individual, and collective, pain.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
