Amanda
Maxlyn writes with an impact, her story has real life issues and emotion mixed
with something we all are drawn to – Love. When I first read the description to
this book I will be honest and say I wasn’t sure I could read it. Some of you
know from past posts that I recently lost my step-father, a man who taught me
to reach for my dreams, to cancer. I have avoided movies where I knew the
person had it for fear of the worst. When I saw that the main girl had cancer I
was very leery and to anyone else who has not read this for that reason, I say
read it anyway. I did read What’s Left of Me; it was fantastic from start to
finish. Yes, Aundrea McCall is ill, but she is fighting! This is a story we
should not avoid but embrace.
Aundrea McCall is twenty-one, she is smart, beautiful, has
plans for her future, and wants to be treated like everyone else. She is in a
new town where very few know about her medical history and has plans to keep it
that way. When her best friend comes to visit and convinces her to have a night
of fun, she does. Finding a hot guy she is drawn to they leave for what she believes
to be a one night stand (her first ever). What she doesn’t realize is the Hotty
has just signed on to be a partner in her brother-in-laws Veterinary practice! Parker
(hotty) has made it clear he wants her in his life, but she doesn’t want to get
serious. Relationships lead to sharing secrets and Aundrea isn’t ready to see
the passion leave Parkers eyes to be replaced with pity. She has a decision to make, tell him or let
him go… Can Aundrea trust the one person that has the power to break her heart?
Trust me you need to read this book and DO not STOP reading until the last page.
Having a mom that is a nurse and a step-father that was a brilliant
doctor I was able to see that Amanda did her research very well. She shows how
emotions are fragile and strong, we can build each other up and that gives
amazing strength to fight anything thrown at us. Look for Amanda’s second book
to this one What’s left of Us, coming out Nov. 14th. I will have an
excerpt to post on the 4th and will be posting a review on the 14th.
Tell me what you think of this book? Was it something you
liked right away or had to get into?
