I remember reading this book in middle school with my eyes glued to every page. It was a different experience for me because it introduced impending tragedy. This is a sequel to Til Death Do Us Part. The main character, April Lancaster, is terminally ill and mourning the death of her fiancée in the first book. Her family decides to take her on a vacation. There she meeds Brandon Benedict. They spend time helping each other heal from hurtful memories of their past. With April still in mourning, s...more

TEARJERKER! LOVE STORY!
When I was reading this book from the minute i started, i knew it was going to be a very sad story. Lurlene Mcdaniel's books always have an inspirational message that come along with her writings. I did not want to put this book down i wanted to read it all the way through. I cried and cried but even though i cried i got the message across and the message will stay in my memory forever. i give this book 5 stars! :)

Oh, man. I just about stopped reading fifteen times in the two hundred pages of this book. It's incredibly over-the-top (okay, so was the last one, and so are just about all of her books, but this goes beyond even the others). The ending felt really rushed, I didn't really care about the characters, and I was kinda glad when it ended.

Actually, I think two stars is being generous...

2/5 on here, 4/10 for myself

This book was about April a girl who lost her boyfriend Mark. April and her parent went on a vaction to St. Croix. April met up with a boy named Brandon. They have a lot and commen. Aprils headaches start coming back, this is making them cut their vaction short. April is ill and cant decide how to tell Brandon.

Oh my goodness! Very good book, and yes I did cry. I couldn't stop reading this book. It just drew me in, and I felt like I really knew the characters. Honestly, I don't think I could read a book over again, but I probably could read this again! I definitely would recommend this book!

I don't know why I read these books when I was younger, but I cried and cried and cried over these books.

This book was good. My favorite part in this book is at the end when the guy blows up a balloon and lets it go in to the sky. He does that because April used to do that for Mark her dead boyfriend. It is a very sad book so I would not read this book unless you like sad books!

I adore this story time and time again. It's such a bittersweet story about how April Lancaster goes on with her life after her husband Mark's sudden death from Cystic Fibrosis. You can feel her agony at moving on to love another and then the end will make you re think about your life. The one thing that I have gotten from all of Lurlene McDaniel's books are that life is way too short to be hesistant and regretful, even in painful situations. If you read this book along with a few of her other n...more

well lets see what did I learn... I learned that just because someone you loved died doesn't mean that you can't have two people you love...

This is a sequel, which I enjoyed. I wanted to know what happened to April after "Till Death Do us Part" ended.

Dying April goes to St. Croix and faces an unexpected romance from a local boy. About as good as the first book.

This book tore out my heart and stomped on it. Why did I read this right after the other one broke me?
