Anna is 13 years old and has just come of age where she starts to think she wants control of her own body, and so has to make a difficult decision whether to sue her parents for that right. Anna knows she was born for the sole purpose to help her older sister to fight childhood leukaemia. Anna isnt sick, but she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions and shots to help save her sister. She would like respite from the constant blood transfusions she has to endure for the sake of her sisters health.

Found this to be a fun ride.

This was an engaging read for me. I had a hard time putting the book down because I wanted to see what was going to happen next.

I never watched the movie, so I had no idea what I was getting into with this one.

I can definitely understand why some people do not like this book at all. But I found it to be engaging enough that I wasn't bothered by a lot of the gripes others have had.
