This novel should not be listed as a self help book for those dealing with cancer. It barely touches on the author's experience with the illness, yet spends too much time exploring her little black book. But if you read between the lines you might get a glimpse of what a terminal illness can do to the human psyche. Using an online alias to trick her husband and tracking down married ex lovers were silent, desperate attempts to find worth. One can only assume this desperation stemmed from having such a horrible disease. However, if you want to learn about the many effects and treatment of cancer there are much more insightful books on the market.
