In the sweetgoodbyes series this is the best one.I love books about peaple with illness's but this tops them all.In this book lily has to deal with her identicle twin who has brain cancer.Lily and alice have always relied on eachother,but if alice dies what will lilly do without her twin...... READ THIS BOOK IT IS WONDERFUL!!!

Sad but an intriguing read

I also wrote that review called Too Intriguing to be Sad. In this novel,a young girl must deal with the fact that her identical twin,who has always been her one source of strength,is dying of a brain tumour.Now she must find her strength on her own.Sad but a terrific read.

The best book I' ve ever read!

This is an amazingly book about two twins, Lily and Alice. The love eachother so much, so Lily have no idea what to do when Alice become ill. It's the sadest book I have ever read, I love it! Elizabeth Benning is my favourite author!

READ THIS!

Life without Alice is the most bueatiful book I have ever read. If you read it, you will understand. I can't describe it. So read it yourself. The author is unbelievable.

Do you want to be taken on an emotional rollar coaster?

The this book is definatly for you. When I first started to read this book I couldn't put it down! It showed that siblings are really valuable and we shouldn't take them for granted. When something really tragic occurs like a sister being diagnosed with cancer the bond between these twin sisters in "Life Without Alice" strengthens. When I finished this book tears were streaming don my face and I was sobbing. This is a book that should be read by every teen.
