Buddie Callow is taking care of her terminally-ill best friend, Chris. Chris has an incurable heart condition. Buddie is reluctant to have a social life because she wants to have as much quality time with Chris as possible. However, one day during an interview for her radio station, Buddie meets the enigmatic Kate McGowan. Although Kate insinuates herself into Buddie's life and befriends Chris, Buddie is unsure about their relationship. A hopeful medical treatment for Chris improves her health and allows Buddie the freedom to explore things with Kate. However, after she realizes she's in love with Kate, Buddie realizes Kate harbors many skeletons in her closet and may never be able to return her love. An intense love story with multiple layers, a strong plot with depth, lovable characters with dimensionality, and an artful author make this a wonderful book. Buy it. Read it. Share it with friends. Keep it on your bookshelf for years to come. This is a classic that deserves to be read again and again.
A touching story!

This is the first book to ever make me cry. It's well written and makes you realize you should always take a chance. The book is a quick read though. Just give yourself a couple of hours of uninteruption and you'll be through it.

Wow, there was an actual plot to this book and real people you could identify with. I couldn't stop reading and kept turning the pages until two AM. The book was funny and sad and full of hope at the same time. The friendship between Buddy and Chris was wonderful and touching. I will remember this book for a long time and read it again.
Wonderful Story of Love and Friendship

Laura DeHart Young writes a wonderfully touching story of love and of a special friendship that doesn't come around very often. Saying goodbye is never easy no matter what the circumstance. It's especially hard when a there is a serious illness. This is a gripping story (keep some kleenex handy) that I guarantee you will enjoy.
