With her signature heart and humor, Julie Halpern explores a strained friendship strengthened by one girl’s battle with cancer.
Alex’s father recently died in a car accident. And on the night of his funeral, her best friend Becca slept with Alex’s boyfriend. So things aren’t great. Alex steps away from her friendship with Becca and focuses on her family. But when Alex finally decides to forgive Becca, she finds out something that will change her world again--Becca has cancer.
So what do you do when your best friend has cancer? You help her shave her head. And then you take her bucket list and try to fulfill it on her behalf. Because if that’s all you can do to help your ailing friend--you do it.
Why I want to read it: I've never read anything by Halpern before, but this book sounds like a heart wrenching read, right? I'm very curious about what this bucket list might have and how will they make it all happen.
That synopsis was not what I expected when I saw the cover, but it sounds amazing!

I literally just finished this last night. It's so good. Not very heart wrenching, though, but very snarky and funny. I laughed aloud frequently. :D

I've seen this cover around, but hadn't read the synopsis yet. That sounds sad and intense. Great pick!
