Customer Reviews

One of Lurlene's greatest!

By reading some of the other reviews for this book, I realize that many of them are negative. They imediatly turn you off from the book. I sopose there are some people who do not like them, but please read the book for yourself and then decide. Do not let the negative reviews influence you. The books are inspiring, touching, and simply amazing.This praticular book is about two friends fighting for their lives because of failing hearts. When both are called into the hospital, only one will be choosen to recieve the heart that is being donated. Booth friends want the heart to be given to eachother, but it will only be given to one, and the other will die. I have read almost all her other books, and I have never gotten bored, or thought the plot was the same, or the book was predictable. Please try her books before you decide you don't like them, and don't let negative reviews influence you're desision. You'll find her books are truly amazing.

Fabulous

Another addition to the story of friends Lacey, Chelsea, Amanda, Jillian and Katie, its a must-read. Chelsea is on the beeper for a heart transplant, and staying with Katie's family. Katie's success with a heart transplant gives Chelsea hope, but after living with a heart disease her entire life, Chelsea is getting sicker each day. At a class for hopeful tranplant receipiants, Chelsea meets Jillian, a sassy, up-beat red-head with a Texan twang and a rich father. Jillian is not only in need of a heart, but a 'pair of lungs.' Jillian and Chelsea can relate, and become instant friends. But one night both girls' beepers go... but there's only one heart, and two lungs. Do the doctors save three people, or one?

This book will make you value life a little bit more.

This book by Lurlene McDaniel is AWESOME. It was the first one of all her books that I have read. I saw it at a bookstore and at first hated it, but then I really got into it. This book is for those who have a heart and are willing to give this book a try, otherwise don't even touch the book. I have since read many others by Lurlene McDaniel, and while they have the basic story-line, they really are rather different. Read this and then more in the series

This Book Is The Best!

I have read it a million times and you should too!! This book shows how friendship really helps you get through things that you have to face. Jillian was the funniest, happiest person I have ever read about. I recomend this book to anyone who enjoys a page-turner, tear-jerker kind of book.

It's about something that happens in real life. The BEST!!!

I really liked this book because it shows that in life not everthing can go your way. This story can happen in real life. It's the best story I have read because it's about two friends that need the same heart. I thought the book was sad, but these things happen in real life. That's what life is about.
