"What is the toughest request anyone can be asked to fulfill?"
Travis Morrison is a champion diver and one of the most popular kids at school. On the first day of summer vacation, while boating on the lake with his friends, Travis attempts a silly stunt dive that goes wrong. He fears he has broken his leg. Instead, his trip to the hospital reveals he has a rare form of cancer, and to save him, the doctors tell his parents they must amputate. In an instant, Travis's life and the lives of everyone around him are forever changed.
Travis is determined that he and only he should decide the course of his life. He has a plan, but he can't carry it out alone. Will he convince one of his friends to fulfill his most important request?
Lurlene McDaniel tackles a controversial subject, probing the issues of personal choice and quality of life.

I can't say enough bad things about this book. It's disjointed, contradictory, implausible in its details, disdainful of its character sketches (cuz they're not full characters) and inconsiderate of the reader.

I loved everything about this book from the setup, to the writing, and to the characters. Towards the end was at a point that I just wanted to keep reading because it was so good.
