Love on a Limb

This is by far the saddest book I've read in a while.  There were few pages that did not have me in tears. I've not encountered Laurie Lewis' writings before and this one is not the kind of book to read on the first time with a new author.

Matt Grayken is being treated for leukemia and he wants to make plans for the end of his life.  This is his third round with the evil disease.

Mikaela Compton is an oncology nurse that Matthew asks to marry him.

Between the two of them, they write a contract for how things are going to go for the marriage. Neither of them planned on falling in love. 

Many times during the novel, the plight of Matt's disease brings the tears, and then some poignant moments bring tears, some angry moments bring tears. There are a few moments that bring smiles, but the emotions are real and that is a nod to the writer for the quality of her work.

This book is a five star book, with two thumbs up, and a box of tissue to help you get through.

My thanks to Books Go Social for allowing me to read and review this book.
