Letting go of Lisa

This young adult book is by an author who writes about teens and children who have illnesses. Tumors, cancer, etc. In this book Lisa has Glioma (which is a type of brain tumor). Her mom and her mom's livein boyfriend are letting her do here thing. No curfews and things like that letting her live out the few months that she knows she has left. In the beginning she drives her Harley and doesn't care if she misses a few classes here and there. Unitl she meets Nathan(or Nathan almost hits her in the school parking lot). She changes with the love from Nathan and they make it through her difficult time together. Of course this is a tear jerker. Lurlene McDaniels books are. But when you go from reading vampire books and horror and killing, she is a good break from it all. She really makes you feel like you know the people with these diseases. Even if you don't read this particular book read one of hers.
