There is a best friend, Al, by her side to support and cheer her up. She has quite a sense of humour and her story is written in a dramatic (comedic) way with lots of big bold words and sketches on the pages. She has accepted her fate and is ready to make the most of the time that she has. We follow Ana through what she is told will be her final year of life as she contemplates her own mortality, succumbs to cancer treatments, takes a last hope trip to the USA and faces a ruthless bully.Īna is very down to earth and philosophical. She writes the book as an English assignment about the last year of her life.Ĭan I say this is a fun book!
