This is a story about a girl finding her guardian angel that would bring back the fight in her and give her hope. It follows a young girl, Barrie, as she fights cancer for the second time. She meets her best friend Delilah in the hospital, also fighting cancer. They make promises together and fight together, until Delilah dies in the hospital. I loved the way it was written. I felt the hope in my chest and the feeling of wanting them both to succeed. Similarly to how I felt my heart shatter when Delilah died. I knew something awful like that was going to happen the second Delilah got introduced, but I didn’t know to which girl it was going to happen. I would have liked to see a little more of Barrie’s mom during the second wave of treatment, and maybe even Delilah’s parents. I feel like watching them interact with each other and their daughters would have been interesting. A cool twist could have also been that Delilah actually wasn’t getting better and she was just lying to Barrie to keep her going. But that’s just the cruel way that my brain went as I was reading. Overall, a really good job, I’m really sad.
