““Life’s too short, you know?””
You know, I actually enjoyed Life's Too Short. I usually have a lot of problems with Abby Jimenez previous books but this one was good. It would have been a five star review but I got a bit pissed off with Vanessa's decision making that I took off a star. But let me explain from the beginning.
Vanessa's life motto is take life to the fullest no matter what. She took this to the heart everywhere she went, and trust me, she went everywhere. And life is throwing her a loop through when she becomes primarily custody of her sister kid. Nothing ever prepares her for being a mother especially when she has terminal illness heredity in her family. No one is ever prepared to be a parent, but as long as you keep trying and being there, then you are one. That's what counts, Vanessa.
And I know you are wondering why I'm mad at her when I admire her as a single parent. It's because she won't go to the doctors and get tested if she has the gene or what's going on with her hand. I understand that terminal illness is terrifying especially when it's hereditary but you can't just sit back and wait for it to come at you. You can't live in fear, you get to know if you do or don't. And her carelessness about going to the doctors pissed me off especially toward the end. It could have been avoided, especially hurt feelings between Vanessa and Adrian. That's all. I just wish she just went to the doctor and figured out if she does or not. And then live your life. You don't have to keep on going to the doctors if you don't want to. It's your life no matter what. Do what you want as long as you are safe and happy.
