"I really enjoyed this book for many reasons but difficult to recommend to others—only if they can handle very violent and graphic narrative."

"I’m not really sure what to say about This Story Might Save Your Life; it's difficult to see why it's being hyped among the new releases because nothing about it was particularly well done.
Genre-wise, it's a mash-up of mystery/thriller and romance, " Read more of this review » |

" I think sometimes, writers think they are writing relatably flawed characters when really, they are just insufferable. I really wanted to throw the protagonist off a cliff in the first 10% of the book. The voice actor, Cia Court, was incredible.

“Grief, I’d only begun to learn, can be so startling in the morning, it feels like an ambush.”

“There’s an unspoken expectation that we are going to finish treatment and bounce right back. We are tethered to our Chemo Chairs for months and months and then just tossed back into the world like a deer on ice trying to land on our feet.”

“Nobody craves normalcy more than us! If only it were so simple and easy to move forward, tossing a match behind you and burning the whole ugly experience to the ground. Burn the pink tchotchkes while you’re at it.”

“The overcoming adversity tool isn't something you're born with, or would eagerly sign up for, but it was tossed into my lap like a gift. I promised myself I was coming through this experience stronger. I vowed to be unwavering with my dedication to mental and physical health after cancer. I envisioned a life of peace and I was reaching for it.”

“My last chemo treatment was right around the corner. The enemy I'd pictured pulling a sneak attack on me was losing. My healthy-cell cancer fighter's were kicking in the swinging doors like an old Western movie and smoking those cancer cells one by one. They were doing the physical work; the least I could do was the mental olympics.
