Only The Good Die Young

This book was made of two of my favorite things! Tattoos and a hot guy!
I really felt for Milcah and I loved her “no give a shit” attitude. She really gave the nurse’s and the physicians a run for their money. She told it like it was and you could tell early on that she was holding back her real feelings by trying to seem tough on the exterior.
Callum was really sweet and I am impressed with his skill at being able to talk to Milcah and tell her exactly what she is doing to herself. At first he tries to be sweet but by the middle of the book, he holds back no punches.
When I started this book, I expected a real tear jerker but this was not the case. There were some times that I could feel the tears brewing, but for the most part, Milcah was such a tough chic that there were not many tears from her.
The book’s main premise is of Milcah trying to deal with the fact that she is dying. She goes through chemo, sick as a dog and continues to push through. All by herself. But then, the unthinkable happens, she is going into remission. Her feelings are all jumbled up because she was preparing to die and now, she doesn’t know how to live!
The surprise about Milcah’s family REALLY blew me away! I can honestly say that I was not expecting that little scenario to come into play. But it worked wonderfully with the story.
In conclusion, if you enjoy NA, then pick this one up. You will be sucked in immediately by Milcah’s sassy attitude and Callum’s charm! You won’t be disappointed;)
