Summary: For Better, for Worse, Forever
Review: I read this book Its not only really good, but it has thing many kids can learn about life. Its sad, and very intersting. I have never read a book that touched my heart like this one did. I laughed with the book and cried too. I hope many kids can read this. WHAT A GREAT BOOK!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Book
Review: I think this book was an awesome sequal to the first although I do think that the first book was better. I liked this book because it makes you really think about life and how things affect you. I like how Brandon helped April through everything and stayed by her side. It's a heartbreaking story till the end and will leave you crying.

Summary: Lurlene McDaniel is THE author of the 90s!!!!!!
Review: I've read every Lurlene McDaniel book published, and can't get enough of them. Out of all her books, this two part book is my favorite. It touched my heart and soul. I bawled through both this book and the first part (Till Death Do Us Part) of this two book series. If anyone has not read a book by Lurlene McDaniel and would like to start I suggest this two book series. I'm sure it will touch your heart and soul as much as it did mine. After reading Lurlene McDaniel books I have decided to major in Pediatric Cancer Phsycology. I want to help children and teenagers like the ones in Lurlene McDaniel books. Great Book!!!!!!!

Summary: For Better, For Worse, Forever
Review: In this book April Lancaster has left her home in New York City to go to St.Croix in the Caribbeans. Her family and April go so that April can get over her loss of her Fiance' Mark who had cystic fiborosis who fatally died from a race car wreck. During her vacation she meets Brandon Benidict. With Brandon in her life, together they help eachother overcome hurting memories in their pasts. Just as they were getting close, April's memories turn into a deadly reality. Her brain tumor has spread. With the help of Brandon she is finally at peace. I liked this book because of the way she put the past behind her.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Well..................
Review: In this book, April goes to St. Croix to get over the loss of Mark. When she is on the beach one day, she meets lonely, pathetic Brandon (as you can probably tell, I dont like him) who blames his father for his mothers suicide. And, yup, you guessed it, they fall in love. But when Aprils medical problems come back, she goes back to NY. She finds out that her tumor is growing, and theres nothing the doctors can do. So she goes back to St. Croix to die.

I didnt really like this book, because Mark died a few weeks before she went to St. Croix, then she falls for another guy. Like come on! That us so unrealistic. And if April and Mark were so in love, she wouldnt be thinking about another guy fot months.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Romance between two deeply hurt teens
Review: In this novel Lurlene McDaniel presents the affecting friendship between April and Brandon. Both of them have been hurt very deeply. Both in different ways. Together, however, they seem to win something essential back. The fun...

Lurlene McDaniel is able to affect the reader emotionally by this book. However, I do not feel comfortable with the fact that both of the characters show self-pity. Both of them can be considered as being outsiders. They do not try to make more friends. I would describe April as being self-centred.

Summing up I have to say that this book might be helpful for some people who suffer from severe illnesses. However, I feel that Lurlene McDaniel did not stress the fact enough that life is important. We cannot do, however, anything about our deaths. I cannot judge whether it is the right cure to read a book about fatal diseases when you are in such a situation yourself...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love Reaches it's Ends During Life, Continues After Death
Review: Lurlene, you did it again. You just capture my mind with such ease. Never stop writing these books. You have encouraged me in many different ways, and I thank you. No matter how bad my sickness is, I know that I need to make the best of it. I have a loved one too, and I'm afraid of losing him. I also know that one day, we'll both be in heaven loving each other, and no one is going to change that. April and Mark are together Foever. You're the best. Thank You!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WHAT A BOOK! LURLENE McDANIEL DO IT AGAIN!
Review: Men, you don't find books like this everyday! It's terrific, absolutely fabulous. I think I'll not like it because Mark isn't there, but now I know that if I don't read it I'll miss this fantastic book. It teach you how you have to take your life one day at a time because you never know when you'll loose it. April was great and , although I miss Mark, I have to recognized that Brandon is a perfect boy. As I told about "Till Death Do Us Part", this is a MUST HAVE!!!!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: She shouldn't have died
Review: Sure it's happy to think April is back with Mark. And that April has helped bring Brandon and his father together. But she didn't have to die. She could have gone on with the tumor lying dormant inside her head. She and Brandon could have lived happily ever after, forever. Even though, I believe April was betraying Mark. I do give credit for the tears it'll bring to the reader's eyes. But love should have been enough to keep her alive. It's not real life. Stories should have happy endings.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A shattering addition to a glorious love story
Review: The beautiful sequel to the even better "Til Death Do Us Part" features April shortly after Mark's tragic death from a crash and his cystic fibrosis.

April is still trying to recover from the death of her beloved fiancee, Mark Gianni. Going to the town of St. Croix, she meets a young man named Brandon who begins to fall for her. Though she befriends Brandon, April refuses to go any further, feeling that it would be a betrayal of Mark.

But when April's brain cancer comes out of remission, she knows that she will soon die. But the young man who's fallen in love with her doesn't want to see her die...

This is a heartbreaking story-you feel sorry for both of the characters, April because of her loss, her cancer and her desire not to love again; and Brandon because of the life he and April can't have. Brandon's final scene is so touching and loving that I almost howled.

Forget the usual romances. These books show true love as it really is.
