Don't Die, My Love

Julie Ellis and Luke Muldenhower have been together since the eighth grade. Now they are in high school and are deeply in love. Luke is a football player, whose coach is Julie's father. Luke is about to receive an athletic scholarship to a top college and is very excited about it. All of a sudden, Luke gets an infection inside his body and Julie commands him to go see a doctor, who tells him that what he's seeing doesn't look right and that Luke's infection is more than what he thinks. As the days at the hospital passed by, things with Luke's body grew and everything about it worries Julie too much. All Julie wants right now is for everything to be fine in the end. But will she get what she wishes for? "Don't Die, My Love" is a wonderful, romantic, and realistic fiction story that brings out all of the deep feelings of two teenagers in love. It is a great book for those who love the realistic plots and for those who love romance. -Hannah

This is a wonderful book!

This book might seem a little boring at the beginning, but its actually really great. It's touching story about 2 teenagers in love. Luke has had a crush on Julie since they were little and finally in high school they are dating. They are deeply in love. Julie notices how Luke seems sick a lot and so she makes him go see a doctor. Luke gives in to see a doctor, he finds out that he has a tumor and has to go on chemo. Julie sticks by his side no matter what. -This book is better than "A Walk To Remember", which I didn't really like, but the book is better then the movie version at least. -Lurlene McDaniel is truly a wonderful author, who has written many touching books about life/reality of those that face unfair life-alternating situations.

The Best Book Of All Time!

Oh my God! My cousin told me to read this book, and I was like, what? I looked at the title, and thought it would be a waste of my time. It looked kinda corny. So not true. Once I started reading it, I fell in love. The book is so touching, you just want to read more and more of it. When I finished it, I went into my bathroom and sobbed for about a half hour. I recomend this book for any one, romantic or not. Read it, you'll love it!Also read- By Lurlene McDaniel: Til Death Do Us Part, Saving Jessica, and Please Don't DieFor die hard romantics- Anything by Julie Garwood or Judith McNaught (also known as Amanda Quick) Read these if you're a teenager, they're adult fiction.

THE BEST BOOK EVER PUBLISHED ON THIS EARTH!

I must confess I have read this book 15 times (I'm not exaggerating!) in the past two years! It is extremely sad and even if you have read it so many times that you can quote it, as I can, you will still cry your eyes out whenever you read or reread it! Luke Muldenhower, a handsome, talented football player, and beautiful Julie Ellis are deeply in love and have been ever since middle school. Now, in high school the whole school knows they are a couple. Luke is sure to get an athletic scholorship to a top college and despite what her parents think, Julie is determined to go wherever Luke goes. But, when Luke can't ditch what he suspects is a cold, Julie convinces him to go to the doctor. Nothing prepared her for the news that Luke had Hodgkin's Lymphoma (a rare type of cancer). Julie is determined that Luke will get well, especially now when they have so much going for them...they are going to get married, go to college, and prepare to spend the rest of their lives together! Can their amazing love for each other hold tight through whatever life hands them? If you like romantic, tear-jerking teen novels, you will love this book as I did!
