Customer Reviews

A real comfort for those who have been there...

I was diagnosed with diabetes at age 12. This book provided immeasurable comfort and help for me. It gave me a perspective that no doctor could provide. I understood that it was OK to feel weird around your friends at first, and it was great having someone to identify with on the subjects of returning to school, parental overprotectivity, etc. A must for those who have or know someone who has diabetes, and a very good, honest, and entertaining source of facts for those who are just interested in information about the disease. A really great read!

It had a very exciting plot!

The shock that Alison encountered I felt that I could relate to, so I understood how she would have felt. The story-line in the book is fast paced and interesting. It had such every-day matters in it that I think that may be why I enjojed it so much! In some parts I really found myself thinking things like "Wow!" "no!""but, why?" In some parts it gets quite emotional and you feel really sorry for her. The book is not, however, just foccusing on Alisons diabetic condition but how she relates to other people , problems, just ordinary things! Once you start reading it you can't put it down, so make sure you read it!

A very good book

When Alison first discovers that she has diabetes she's furious and when the shock wears off she gives up. Then Alison learns to cope with it and she meets Mark and he becomes interested in her will Alison accept him or will she push him away
