Review:
First
thing, before you even start page one of “What’s Left of Me”, by Amanda Maxlyn,
have an entire box of tissues right next to you…cause I’m am just wrecked right
now. This one…oh, this one, this one’s
gonna get ya, rip right into your heart and play havoc with your emotions. This is soul wrenching journey Aundrea’s of
her battle with cancer.
Aundrea
has been fighting for the last four years and just wants to find moments where
she’s not being asked, “how are you feeling” and receiving looks of pity she
just wants someone to see past the illness to the woman she is inside. One night, as Aundrea is out with her best
friend, she meets Parker, and through this new relationship, she finds so many
of the things she’s been secretly yearning for.
Aundrea goes through most of the book not telling Parker about her
cancer, which, actually, I don’t blame her for; it gave an opportunity for the
relationship to really develop between the two of them without Aundrea’s
illness becoming a factor…which she had already beaten once and had every
expectation to beat again with her current treatments.
The
overwhelming details that Amanda Maxlyn weaved into “What’s Left of Me” is
truly amazing, I really had no idea of the absolute ravishment of physical,
emotional and mental toll cancer inflicts upon not only the individual but
everyone connected to them; every battle won and celebrated with the knowledge
that it may be fought again if the cancer returns at some distant unknown date
in the future. It is a credit to Amanda’s
talent that she was able to convey these very real emotions with Aundrea’s
story.
4.5 Stars! ~ Kathy
