A Time for Dancing
Wow, what can I say, this was one of the greatest books that I've ever read. It really touched me, because I know how it feels to feel like you and your best friend are drifting apart. I couldn't help crying at the end, even though I was in the middle of a class I was taking. You can really relate to this book, and I love the format it was written in. Not to mention the fact that it is written so that a young adult ages 12-19 could understand it. Throughout the whole situation, Jules getting cancer, Sam having to watch her slowly suffer, not knowing what to do. I can't even imagine the pain they had to feel. I would truly suggest that you read this book, I promise that it will make you think.
