Phenomenal story of love and courage

This book tells the story of Robin and Rick, and their battles against cancer. In a beautifully simple way, it reveals the pain, the anger, and the fear all those who face a serious illness suffer, with their loved ones. Some of the scenes are absolutely hilarious (Litvark, anyone?) and some are so poignant, they brought me to tears. A sensitive, beautiful life-affirming look at the realities of illness and death. One of the best young adult books I have ever read.

The most beautiful book I've ever read

THE INCINCIBEL SUMMER WAS SO WONDERFUL! I READ IT ALL IN ONE DAY I ENJOYED IT SO MUCH. I REALLY UNDERSTOOD HOW ROBIN FELT WITHOUT HAVING HER EXPERIENCES , THE BOOK WAS SO DETAILED. THE BEST IVE READ IN A REALLY LONG TIME.

This is one of the best books I've read for a long time!

I LOVE this book because it shows what people with Leukemia go through, feeling all alone and that it takes someone else with Leukemia to comfort them because they understand what they're going through. This story made me think about how I act to people with cancer.
