This book was a good read. It took me a few days to get through it but I enjoyed it. It is about a woman who has a mother who is dying of breast cancer. It has a lot of side characters who get their own sections of the story but Rachel, the main character was the most interesting. I didn't really think the other characters added too much to the story, especially with Angela, the best friend of Rachel who was a very minor character. But I liked the way this book was written.

It was okay, nothing that I would recommend. There were too many unresolved stories and the character development was lacking.
