Jessica Queller has composed an extremely well written book. It is filled with educational facts and inspiring personal accounts regarding a very serious issue - breast cancer. The book was not as emotional as I expected it to be which, to me, illustrated that she is such a strong woman that it carried over into her writing. This is a great book club read as it brings up many questions that will stimulate discussion. This book has opened a whole new literary world for Jessica Queller, that goes

I loved this book. I loved her style of writing, its kind of a no-nonsense approach. It was obvious that she lived a very privileged life and I thought she did a good job of incorporating it, but not flaunting it. As a mother and someone who saw her sister battle cancer, I know exactly what my decision would be if I tested positive for the BRCA mutation. However, I can empathize with her situation as a single woman with no children. I commend her for taking her destiny into her own hands.
This book was defiently an "eye opener" and kind of makes you second think about things. As a kid my philiosphy was always "Oh it would never happen to me." But then reality set in, stuff does happen and there is nothing you can do about it, that's just life! I thought she was a very strong writer.

I thought this book was very good overall. It was a very quick read too which I liked even better :) The only thing that I didnt like about it was the author maybe - just because her lifestyle and growing up with tons of money was hard to relate too and I could really care less that she is friends with Clarisa or not :) So that stuff I could have done w/out and she could have added more to the story or facts... but overall I did like it a lot. :)
Incredible... I read it in one day. Every woman should read this. Beautiful and thought provoking... Loved it!
Im excited about this one
