Oh wow, I loved this book! I think that the first was better than the second, but they came really close within each other. It made me cry so much! Lurlene McDaniel, in these two novels, tells of how the unexpected and unfair things that happen to us, and that also you can love two people at the same time. I recommend it to anyone who loves Lurlene McDaniel's works, or even new fans. It made a great read.

This book is hust sad. Sad, sad, sad. Not sad as in this was such a complete failure. But the sad that you wanna cry or something.
The love in the two books is so lovey-dovey and corney but you gotta love it. You just find it so compelling for some reason.But since it is mixed with sadness, you wanna cry. Most of the major events in the boook made me want to bawl my eyes out. Like, for real. It was so saddddd. DX
Seriously.

Wow, tearjerkers. I liked the second book better, BUT I don't think it would have been as impactful without reading the first. So.
There was a lot of telling at times (as opposed to showing) but the emotions in these stories are so raw and basic that they are almost impossible not to sympathize with. Love comes rather quickly to both of the male love interests, but it IS a teen romance novel, so that's to be expected.

I fell in love with this story. First of all--the author's history behind her works is a tear-jerker itself. She conveys how lives are changed by things we can't control. From sickness, to disease,that affect our lives in a way you don't expect unless you have experienced it. It speaks of a girl named April (prettiest name ever by the way lol) and she enters the hospital due to some problems with her head and some frequent painful headaches. She finds out she has a malignant tumor. Here, she mee

AWWWW!!!!!!
That's exactly what i said, really really loudly, when Mark proposed!! It was so sweet!
I thought that this book was a little bit too fast paced. It seemed like the author was rushing things a bit too much. One minute a car accident, BOOM, the next minute shes in a wedding dress and he's dead.
one more complaint is that all of the character traits that mark had seemed to transfer over to brandon, like "his charming, infectious personality that m More...

The book starts off with April thought that she and Mark would be together forever. But since Mark’s death, April has never felt more alone. Then Brandon Benedict comes into her life. Brandon is lonely and angry—he and April have a lot in common. But April cannot tell Brandon about her illness. When April’s medical problems suddenly return, she must decide what to tell Brandon. I recommend this book to people who have relationships because the author reveals many lessons and morals of how love s

Knowing this book was for teenagers I expected it to be a little predictable and bubble-gummy. Boy was I right. I could pretty much tell you how the book was going to end and what was going to happen next after reading the first couple of pages. Didn't stop me from continuing though. Even though it was for the younger generation it was still a good read for me. It reminded me of the ones like it that I used to read when I was 15. It showed me how much I had moved on to more adult novels an

I didn't really care for this book. I always think of this author as cheesy, and this book is no different. I had read this book very quickly, mostly I skimmed through the entire thing while waiting for my sister at the library. It is similar to a lot of her other books, about a couple who fall in love, but one of them is sick, and the other goes against his/her parents wished to do something (in this case marry) for their beloved.

as long as we boht shall love was an incredible book. the first novel in this book was really sad. When April met Mark at the hospital and instantly fell in love he made her a stronger person when she felt like her world had come to an end with her tumor back. Although he had cistic fibrosis she saw past that and relized how amamzing he was. The two had a strong connection and they never let their troubles get in the way. The second novel was heart wretching! Aprils trying to move on and forget

Wow! Writing this review sure brings back memories. I haven't read this book since I was eight, maybe nine years old. I guess I should re-read it before I continue this review...

This book is pretty much a cheesy romance novel. But I love cheesy romance novels. It is about a girl who falls in love with someone who has an illness.

this is a two part book. i really liked the first book, but i really hated the second part. it seemed like the main character moved on too much and then it just ended. i was so angry at this book, that i really hated it. i actually threw it. i didn't understand WHY the book was written like this.
