A few days before leaving Amsterdam Gus told Hazel that he was dangerously sick. Hazel doesn’t what to do and she can’t bear to lose someone. There’s a new time bomb in Hazel’s life.

Review

This book is an eight. If you like romance than this is the book for you. There is also a lot of bad words. The thing it also really realistic. It shows more than just the bad part of cancer, it shows life. Life is never was easy and never will be. It’s a really enjoyable book that seems more appropriate for grades 6-12, but it i your choice. I hope you get this book at your library or from a retail book store.

Review

This book is an 8.5 out of ten. I have always loved fairy tales. I love them even more when you take fairy tales and put some very modern twists on it. If you love fantasy, adventure, trickery, mystery, and romance get this book at your local library. If it has passed my examination it will surely pass yours.
