This book was split into three novels. Saving Jessica, Telling Christina Goodbye, and Letting Go of Lisa. 18 year old Jessica finds out that her kidneys have failed. Which means a life hooked up to dialysis, only hope is a new kidney. Now you'd think that this would be a piece of cake to get one, but no, neither of her parents are eligible, her only hope is her boyfriend, Jeremy. The only problem is Jeremy's parents are very unwilling to sign the papers for Jeremy to go through the operation.
I wasn't so sure of this book actually. This one was kind of cheesy. I thought, "What boyfriend would give a part of his body to a girlfriend who not only is a year and a half older, but one who might break up with him? No such boyfriend exists. A husband but no boyfriend." I really thought it was really lame and I also thought that the romance in it was kind of cheesy too. I thought it was way too over the top cheesy for me to enjoy it too much. I thought it was going to be sad but it really wasn't. But it was written really well, if Lurlene McDaniel kind of screwed up with this one in my opinion. But the other books in this book proved to me that she's a really good author. Over all I rated this book a 3 out of 5. For the mere reason that the romance was way too cheesy for my taste. And really what boyfriend would do that?
Telling Christina Goodbye: Pages: 224
Trisha and Christina are the greatest friends in the world. They double date and they hold each other when one of them is sad because of something. They go shopping, see plays, go to basketball games, and they do everything an average teenage girl would do. Until one night Christina's boyfriend, Tucker, hits some black ice and his car rolls and flips. Trisha's whole world goes upside down, her best friend is dead. Her boyfriend is in a coma and the only person who must know some of the pain that she's going through, Christina's boyfriend Tucker, who is not only responsible for her friend's death but who she doesn't get along with at all because of the way he treated Christina before the accident.
I loved this book so much. It was exactly what I needed when I bought it. I don't normally buy books I haven't read because of the risk that I'll waste my money and not like the book, so when I bought this one I was in deep need of a sob fest, and boy did I find one. I couldn't put this one down, I read it day in and day out. I was going through some hard times when I bought it and it was just what I needed, a heart warming book.
It was written so beautifully that I was amazed. I was so thrilled that I had bought the right book. I couldn't believe how good it was. I was blown away. I realized that even though that things are gonna be REALLY hard for a while it WILL get better no matter what.
I whole heartily rated this book a 5 out of 5. It made me feel for the characters, I couldn't put it down.
Letting Go of Lisa: Pages: 181
Nathan comes to a high school after years and years of homeschooling, and finds that high school is much more different then home. The biggest difference is Lisa, a wild girl who Nathan falls in love with. He's completely smitten. But he can't love Lisa, because she has a secret. A serious secret.
I liked this one a lot. I really felt for Nathan, and Lisa, Nathan's over protective mother made me think a lot about how sometimes parents have just got to let go and let their kids live and go after what they think is right. I thought that is pretty good, it was still written beautifully, and wonderfully.
I know this may sound a little weird but Nathan's and Lisa's first "date", is in a bookstore where they get coffee and talk, since I'm a book geek I completely drooled over that. I not a coffee drinker but sitting in a bookstore sipping a hot beverage with someone sounds so wonderful and nice. I couldn't believe how that small little thing seems so sweet and nice. I loved it, the author made it so real, and so sweet that I re-read it all that scene all the time.
I rated this one 5 out of 5. I loved this as well. It was beautifully written and so sweet and nice that I couldn't put it down.

I loved the way that Lurlene McDaniel wrote these books so I gave the books all together 5 out of 5. Saving Jessica was kind of cheesy but the other two were really awesome.
