Bitter Sweet
A very touching bitter sweet story about two people destined to die, and not wanting to do so in the hospital or at their own homes with family they deemed to be fake. The plot is very well written and the picture of the events is drawn out very well. However I feel as though the author should have explored they relationship with each other just a bit more, and in the end it leaves you wanting more, as any good story should. All in all I must say this is one of the best stories I have ever read an I recommend it to anyway. With the right combination of sweet and suspense throughout their journey it pulls at the heart strings just enough. Easily a story worth reading.
