Synopsis

Smart-mouthed, funny, and sometimes crude, Richard Casey is in most ways a typical seventeen-year-old boy. Except Ritchie has cancer, and he’s spending his final days in a hospice unit. His mother, his doctors, and the hospice staff are determined to keep Ritchie alive as long as possible. But in this place where people go to die, Richie has plans to make the most of the life he has left.

Fifteen-year-old Sylvie, the only other hospice inmate under sixty, has plans of her own. What begins as camaraderie soon blossoms into love, and the star-crossed pair determine together to live life on their own terms in whatever time they have.

Hollis Season has created one of the most original voices in young adult literature, narrating a story that is unflinching, graphic, heart-breaking, funny, and above all, life-affirming.

*2.5* Pues no. No me pareció mala (no creo que lo sea), pero sinceramente no me gustó. Digamos que entre más que sea una buena o mala novela, es una historia (y un personaje) que no va conmigo, ni con mi nivel de tolerancia. El título es lo más interesante de la novela, y al principio lo desarrolla m......more

Goodreads review by Penny on February 24, 2013

Cancer books. Man, they are all over the place these days, aren't they. It seems as though you can't peruse any shelf of any book store without finding at bunch of cancer books. YA is littered with cancer books. Now don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily mind, it's just that a lot of these books ar......more

Goodreads review by Claire on June 01, 2015

3,5/5 Ce n'est pas un coup de cœur mais j'ai trouvé les personnages singuliers, uniques et tous extraordinaires dans leur genre. Ce livre n'a absolument rien à voir avec Nos Etoiles Contraires malgré un contexte légèrement similaire.......more
