Publisher Description
They lived the life they were given; they loved the life they made.
Cheerleader Taylor Smith doesn't want to die a virgin. Unfortunately, if the terminally-ill leukemia patient doesn't find a lover or a stem-cell match within months, her fear will become reality. When her cancer mentor is revealed to be a hottie entrepreneur from California, it seems fate might finally be on her side.
Tech-geek Gavin Taylor has everything he ever wanted, except someone to grieve for him when he's gone. With his melanoma cancer beyond the help of his riches, he agrees to participate in a cancer patient mentoring program where he's matched with a dying teen from Texas. Despite his immediate attraction, the Silicon Valley whiz intends only to provide friendship and happy memories to the beautiful, young woman who is determined to win his love.
When it's discovered that his frozen sperm and her harvested eggs could lead to a cure, Taylor's mother offers to be a surrogate. And Gavin must decide if he can risk the heart he has never given and a child he'll never know to a girl he just met.

Great story
Emotional, Inspiring Story
I never loved something that made me cry this much until I read this book. From the time I read the premise for this book, I knew that it had the potential to make me sad. However, this book had me crying to the point I almost could not read the words but it was so good that I had to wipe away the tears and keep reading. In this book readers get to meet Taylor and Gavin-two young people whose lives have been greatly affected by cancer. When the two meet, they have an instant connection. While this could be unbelievable to for two people to grow so close in a short time, the reality of the cancer and lack of time the couple has makes it very realistic.
I enjoyed how even in seemingly hopeless situations the characters stayed positive. It was also nice that even though I knew better than to hope for a fairytale happily ever after, there were events and happy things that the author wrote that I could hope for and anticipate. The book includes exciting twists and laughs that add to the story without sugar coating cancer. The relationships in this book were fantastic. Not only were Gavin and Taylor's interactions great but it was nice seeing them with their friends and families as well. This is one of the most touching stories I have ever read and highly recommend it. Yes, you will cry but the tears are worth it for such an inspiring book.
