"Dealing with your own terminal illness is easier than telling your best friend that you're in love with her. Just sayin'." - Regina Callahan
Reggie Callahan has come to terms with her prognosis of less than a year to live. She's been dealing with it all summer thanks to blacking out and falling off her horse back home in Wisconsin. Instead of starting her sophomore year, she's only back at New York University to tie up loose ends. One of them is breaking the news to her childhood friend, actress and model, Desi St. Clair. For Reggie, telling her that she is sick, and leaving the city is harder than learning you're going to die.
Until Desi kisses her.
This isn't a story about gender preference or about living with cancer. Plain and simple, it's about love and what people are willing to endure to live without regrets and savor every moment.

REVIEW
I am still reeling from this book it took me on a journey
that I was not excepting, well I can’t really say that either…. I knew or I
thought I knew I should say, but I really didn’t I took this book on and read
it because it hit’s so close to home for me and I wanted to see how close this
story is to the real life stuff. Well let me tell you, I can’t say for sure on
the whole treatments but as a whole when it comes to cancer and how it affects
you or your family, Yes she is. As matter a fact I felt as though I was right
there with the characters. I couldn’t put the book down so I read it really
fast I just had to know what happed yes it’s one of those kind of books, I love
them kind of books though… haha
Okay so this book is F/F and I have to say this is my first
ever F/F book I’ve read so going in I was a bit on the leery side not knowing
what to except, but it wasn’t graphic at all there was some kissing but that’s not
bad all graphic stuff was left out for the most part. I am all for f/f, or m/m
each to their own, I strongly believe that is one’s own choice and no one
should ever be judged upon that. I however know that is not how today world
works, and so do these two characters. Regina aka Reggie is sick and has to
tell her lifelong best friend Desi, but she doesn’t know how she’s going to
bring herself to do it. Once Desi sees
Reggie she thinks after being gone for the last few weeks on a modeling gig she
thinks Reggie is on drugs. So of course Reggie stuffs that out right away, and
she tells Desi that she’s leaving school and that she’s sick.
What comes next surprises me and breaks me at the same time
I feel so bad for both Reggie and Desi, they have been hiding behind a fake
persona for most there teen and collage years or one of them has I should say…
and know that the truth is out My heart hurts for the wasted time, but you can’t
dwell on the past you have to live for today and this is a lesson that these
characters are going to learn
“A
sliver of life, that’s all I’ve been afforded. My heartbeat, my breath, and my
dreams. Then again, I think they don’t actually belong to me; they belong to
her. She is the everything that fills the space between my delirium and all
that is tangible. She is the reason I wake every morning. She is why I must
survive this. It is not hope that grows; it is a desperation to never be
without her. Before her proclamation, I was good with my fate. But now, here
with her, I want to fight it with every last bit of me.”
So Reggie
moves home with her parents to forgo treatments, Desi comes and visits as much
as possible between her crazy movie shoot and school. They promise each other “NO
MORE WASTED TIME” over the course of the fall months Reggie is doing treatments
and Desi is on set doing the movie the talk daily now and things are going
better, Christmas is here and Oh my I can’t wait for you all to read this part
of it!!! Yay for Christmas and Did I tell you I love Reggie’s parents there a couple
of hippies and I just love them, J
lol
I totally don’t want to do this book any harm by giving anything away
it’s a must read it’s going to have you crying it’s going to have you laughing,
it’s going to leaving you mad at times and asking why…. It’s going to rip you
apart and gut you yep I said it I’m not going to lie, I can’t even go into
details with you but it’s totally not even something you see coming is the
worst part… I’m still kind of like omg….. what….. BUT…. The author did this for
the Characters own good I can see that now, Now I can but still wow. Yes it’s
worth it 100% worth it, Trust me the ending is wonderful and amazing and beautiful!!!
I give My Last Season With You 5 ☆☆☆☆☆
