Un día cualquiera, el mundo de Natalie Miller, una treintañera de éxito, se viene abajo. Le detectan un cáncer, su novio la abandona y los efectos de la quimioterapia la mantienen apartada de su brillante carrera como asesora de una senadora en Nueva York. Pero ella se niega a abandonar. Y cuando emprende la lucha contra el cáncer, el cambio en su vida irá más allá. Por fin, tiene tiempo para cuestionarse sobre la relación con sus padres, sus amores, su trabajo, pero, sobre todo, para cuestionarse sobre sí misma: ¿realmente ha construido una vida perfecta?

A Michael Vartan mention! :) ( )

First novel I read of Scotch's and definitely a good read. Not as good as the next two novels as far as the pace goes, but still a pick me upper when you need to curl up with a book! ( )

This was the first book I read by Allison Winn Scotch and I really, really enjoyed. Scotch’s writing style is very simple, which makes it easy to get into the meat of the story and not find oneself all tangled up in ostentatious language. The premise of the novel could have easily made for a downer of a story, but that is definitely not what happens. Natalie is a strong character that one cannot help but like. As she struggles with men, career, and even cancer, it is hard not to relate to Natalie. Liking the central character and being able to relate to her make for a compelling novel, not a depressing one.

I highly recommend this novel. It was an easy, fast read that was totally enjoyable. ( )

It was cute. I really liked it. ( )
