Evie Danvers has three beautiful, if slightly out of control, children; a stray cat named Dr. Moxley and a best friend who drinks unapologetically at 9 a.m. Evie also has stage four bone cancer and a gallows sense of humour that drives her husband, Nick, demented. Nick wants Evie to fight. Evie, on the other hand, is almost ready to die. This is not Evie's first rodeo. She kicked her cancer twice before. But this time around, Evie knows it's a battle she can't win. Instead, she focuses on avoiding her oncologist, playing wicked pranks on her mother-in-law and getting her affairs in order, which includes hiring a nanny to take care of the kids after she's gone.Having Julia Soanes in his house would not have been Nick's first choice. Julia smells of memories. And sex. Something Nick hasn't had in a while. Nick's moral objections, however, are short-lived. The woman he loves is dying. He can honor her dying wish. Can't he?

I loved this book - assuming that you are allowed to love a book about dying. It took a serious subject and filled it with wry humour and lovable characters.
Evie Danvers has already survived two rounds of treatment for her bone cancer, so when it reappeared for the third time, she knows her time is limited. She has a devoted husband and three young children, so this is not an easy decision. The way she goes about her preparation though, is impressive. I don't want to give too much away, this is a book you have to read.
I have given 5 stars for the book itself, if I were to rate the narration it would not be so high. The narrator reads well but makes no effort to distinguish between male and female voices and if you happen to have lost concentration at the opening of each chapter, you will have no idea whose voice you are listening to.
This is a realistic scenario, well handled, with a taste of wacky and crazy thrown in. Not to be missed. (
