This book starts out with Ava and her mother and father eating dinner together. Then her mother turns to Ava and tells her that she only has about six months to live. Ava immediately looses her appetite and feels sort of angry/sad that her mother is going to die. She doesn't know how to tell her best friends, Jamie and Tex, so keeps that secret, Secret Number One, to herself. But, she has another secret, too. After they get home from the dinner, Ava gets in her car and drives to the place that's her number one therapy-- the cemetery.

While there, she walks around, in the peace and quiet, looking at graves, and just minding her own business. Then, she hears two voices talking about some weird things. She hides and looks at the two people-- two guys-- and guesses that they are talking about her. Then, all of a sudden, one of them grabs her, and traps her. He tells the other one to get her, or he will. The other one refuses, so the one holding her goes in for the bite. Ava faints. Secret Number Two.

When Ava comes to, she's in her car, and she has hickey like marks on her neck. She's calm,  but on the inside, she' freaking out. Eventually goes back to the cemetery, and meets the other guy who refused to bite her, Peter, and tells him about her problems--things that she couldn't tell her friends, or anybody else. She feels like Peter understands her, more than anybody else.

Well, I like this story. I feel like it gives off the most real teen experience in that she speaks like a teen would.

I like Ava's character, too. She's trying to do the right thing, but she doesn't know how. She wants to tell her friends the truth, but she can't get it out. She just wants her mother's cancer to go away and never come back. I think that meeting Peter was a good thing for her, personally, because she can talk to him. I think she feels like he's non-biased on things she tells him, although, him threatening to kill her several times would've made me leave.

I also like the mini parts of Peter's point of view, thought I thought that there should have been more of it, like alternating chapters of it. I feel like it would've been better with several chapters worth of it.

So, as you can see by the long summary, I obviously like this story, and I've most obviously given the book five hearts...
