What an amazing book! Having also experienced breast cancer at a young age I can relate to many of the experiences that Jen describes. She has a wonderful way of sharing her stories and turning any set back or difficult situation into something positive and inspiring.

I met Jen Smith in High School. I always thought Jen was amazing, and that was all confirmed when I read her book! This book was hard to put down, I read it all in one sitting! I appreciate so much how Jen has shared with her friends and family about her journey and how honest she is. After hearing about Jen's diagnosis with Breast Cancer, I thought I needed to appreciate life a little more and not worry so much and just live life to the fullest. After reading her book it definitely puts things in perspective and makes you appreciate and value your time and those around you just so much more!

I felt privileged to be given this book and the opportunity to learn even more about Jen and the journey she has been on as a result of her diagnosis. I always knew she was an amazing woman and this only confirmed it. I have such respect for her for describing what she's been through with such candor and honesty but I'm not surprised. That's who she is and that's how she lives her life. Thank you, Jen!
