Danielle 's Reviews > Only The Good Die Young

If you are looking for a very real and very emotional book dealing with cancer, you have found it. Only The Good Die Young, centers around Milcah, whom finds out she has breast cancer at the young age of 18 and told she will not make it to see 19. Milcah decided she does not want anyone around her as she deals with her cancer. She is all alone in the world anyways, she doesn't have parents, and has alienated everyone else out of her life. I cant not imagine being all alone when going throughout cancer. My heart bike while reading this book. Milcah was in and out of the hospital, and no one came to visit her.

In the course of the book, Milcah endures chemo, her breasts removed, sickness and hospital stays. She does all these things alone. It is very emotional. Through it all she wear a tough exterior. She pretends nothing bothers her, but in reality, it does.

Milcah meets Callum whom lives in her building. There is instant attraction, but Milcah fights it off. Not wanting to let him in, knowing she is going to die. Callum is willing to take friendship and makes his way into what little time Milcha lets him have in her life. For most of the book Callum is in the dark to the fact Milcah's cancer.

This is more a story about dealing with cancer, than romance. It is still a touching story.
