Summary: As a college student, Suleika just assumed feeling bone-tired was the norm. When she mustered up the courage to see a doctor, the last thing she expected was a cancer diagnosis. It is a long, bumpy road to remission; when Suleika gets there, she embarks on a cross-country road trip to celebrate being alive and commemorate those who supported her life thus far.
Takeaways: Cancer is a visible disease with invisible struggles. When her body starts to fail her, Suleika takes to her words. Through writing, she candidly shares things such as what NOT to say to a cancer patient and the truth about remission (a scary, aimless time). This tale is also one of young love, empathetic friendship, and personal growth.
