really liked it
bookshelves: 2019, books-for-thought, bullying, cliques,contemporary, disorders-disabilities, drug-abuse
I was initially going to rate this 3.5 stars, but after reading the author’s note, have decided to bump it up to 4.
Brave Enough follows two teens, Cason and Davis. Cason is a senior in high school, who for most of her life hasn’t really had a social life, or even gone to school (like a normal student) as she takes intense ballet classes at a ballet school. But her life changes, when she is injured during an audition and at the hospital is diagnosed with cancer. Davis is a teenage boy who has recovered from cancer, but in order to deal with the pain (both physical and emotional) has turned to heroine and has been clean for several months when he is assigned community service work at the hospital.
Brave Enough is told from the dual-perspective of Cason and Davis, but also follows the lives of their peers as we see how so many young students have to deal with cancer and how they cope with it and how their lives change around them.
This is unfortunately the reality for many children and young adults and is an emotional roller coaster showing the pain of both the kids, their parents, their peers, and how the outside world treats them differently. I would recommend for those who enjoyed The Fault In Our Stars or Five Feet Apart.
