MY BLOG: Melissa Martin's Reading ListI thought this book was a sweet little story. Emma is in love with her boyfriend Lucas, but Lucas now has cancer and is dying. One night there is a crash outside Lucas family farm. No one really pays too much of attention as it's not a big crash, it just sounded like a thud to them. Actually it was a little bitty pod that escaped when the big ship was destroyed.. because you know.. the government likes to shoot shit down and worry about any consequences, but...

I've read this book so many times I'm no longer objective, but I do feel good about giving the audiobook five stars, because it's phenomenal! That should come as no surprise since Kate Rudd, the voice talent who narrated this book for audio, also did John Green's novel, The Fault in Our Stars. Finally I have something in common with John Green. :)

Cute read. I would have eaten this up with a spoon when I was in grade school/middle school. I guess as a mom I just see things a bit differently than the high school age MC.Emily is at her boyfriends bedside in his last days. He is dying of cancer. He is the "perfect" guy. Everyone loves him, he was a jock, gorgeous, and loves her even though his parents would want him dating someone from the same side of the tracks.Even when Lucas is on his deathbed and no longer responsive, she still believes...
