I am glad Geralyn wrote this book and opened up a lot of topics that young women struggling with cancer could find helpful and possibly even inspirational. But, as much as I tried, I just couldn't like her; I found her materialistic and self-involved, which detracted from the true message of the book. I'd like to see a second version of this book, perhaps written by a young women who does not have the same social and financial advantages that Geralyn had.
