Book Reivew: Zac & Mia by A.J. Betts

Quick read, really quick read. But a really good one. The seriousness of the topic was pretty heavy at times, but there's a message of hope, even in the face of some of the hopelessness that the characters were going through, throughout the book. Zac is an easily likable character, and Mia, wow, I really kind of didn't like her in the beginning....and most of the way through the story. I felt bad for her, for what was happening to her, but her anger over it all was really frustrating. It was only when I was probably 60% of the way through the book that I actually started to like her. 

For someone that has never dealt personally with cancer on the level that the characters in this book did, it's truly an eye opening experience. And a great illustration of how similarily different things affect different people. 

Put this on your list, but don't expect it to be all sunshine and rainbows.

From the GoodReads website, "The last person Zac expects in the room next door is a girl like Mia, angry and feisty with questionable taste in music. In the real world, he wouldn’t—couldn’t—be friends with her. In hospital different rules apply, and what begins as a knock on the wall leads to a note—then a friendship neither of them sees coming.

You need courage to be in hospital; different courage to be back in the real world. In one of these worlds Zac needs Mia. And in the other Mia needs Zac. Or maybe they both need each other, always."
