Review # 1 was written on 2014-08-01 00:00:00 Sean Orourke The book does not go into much detail about the parents emotions during the time Lo was diagnosed nor thoughout her life and struggles. As a parent of a child with Cystic Fibrosis, I would have like to see more focus on the emotional toll her illness took on them. I felt like the book was lacking many details of the CF life. The book is narrarated by the mother and the father. It flips back and forth between their perspectives much too often and it is sometimes difficult to keep up with who is currently narrarating.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-09-16 00:00:00 Bruce Williamson I felt this was playing to my sympathies possibly to get money for research. I spent the entire book thinking that "Lo" would die before age 5 which I found very disappointing. Every life has its ups and downs and I felt they attributed too much of life's usual chaos to the CF instead of letting it be life.
