Narrated by a female, teenage cancer patient, who falls for a teenage, male cancer patient… Well there is a story with obviously similar themes… Which I loved, so I was a little nervous going in to this one. Thankfully, while Anthem for Jackson Dawes by Celia Bryce isn’t perfect, it is very much its own book.
