About The Book:
Alaska Stone is a walking wet dream.
My wet dream.
For years, I’ve watched her in the halls, wanted her, but she never knew I existed.
Not until she walked into my chemo session.
For me, it was love at first sight.
For her? It might take a little longer.
But hey, it’s not like we’re on a deadline or anything.

Excerpt:
“Come here,” Styx says, giving my arm a weak tug.
“Where?”
“Come lie with me.”
I laugh and shake my head. “I can’t. I’ll squash your lines.”
“They’re plastic; they’ll bounce back.” His face turns serious, and the desperation in his eyes claws at my resolve. “Get your sweet ass up here, Stones. I wanna hold my girl.”
It takes a little maneuvering with his central line and heart-rate monitor, and my IV, but eventually I settle in against his side and he wraps his good arm around me, holding me as tightly as his weak body will allow.
I wish we had the power to make time wait for us.
I’d make it wait forever, right here. I’d use up all of the seconds it’s stolen from me, from us, and the lifetime it’s going to steal from our future. If I had the ability, I’d hit pause right here, and I’d never let him go.
My Review:
Styx & Stones by Carmen JennerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Styx & Stones by Carmen Jenner is a heart-breaking story of young love in the face of deadly illness. Categorized as young adult I felt the sex scenes may push into new adult but regardless, this book will pull at all your heartstrings. Even knowing this isn't going to end in anything but cancer winning I felt a pull to read this.
Styx Hendricks & Alaska Stone are two unfortunate teenagers suffering through chemo and learning that life isn't fair. But Alaska also learns more about Styx and about love as they get to know each other better. Romantic and filled with enough light-hearted moments between these two this book wasn't all doom & gloom. It was beautiful. Well-written and honest, if you don't get emotionally entangled a little heartbroken reading this then you may want to double check you aren't actually a robot.
