If you're lucky, at least once you find a "forever friend"--someone you can be angry at one minute and hugging the next, someone you know you'll want to be friends with your whole life. Cady and Nana have that sort of friendship. Nothing could ever stop them from being there for each other--or could it? When Nana is diagnosed with terminal cancer, their friendship undergoes its biggest test. Always a writer to go straight to the heart of matters, Sally Warner wastes no time in bringing readers right into the middle of this inspiring relationship. The subject matter is difficult: no one wants to imagine a best friend dying. Warner conveys Nana's deterioration (and Cady's reaction to it) in a welcome, straightforward, and honest manner, and she does so with such warmth that the real point of this story never gets lost. Sort of Forever is not a morbid novel about death. Instead, Warner has written a joyful celebration of friendship that knows no bounds.
