Simon’s Choice by Charlotte Castle
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
The book is about a doctor whose daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia and was told that the girl is going to die soon. The little girl was able to accept her fate but the father was quite bothered with letting her child go and face death alone. This created quite a friction amongst family members with opposing sentiments on pertinent issues surrounding the child’s care and welfare.
I love my kids so fiercely that I cannot imagine them being struck by such terrible disease. However, I have witnessed my mom fade away from us the same way as Sarah did so I was expecting the book to hit close to home. To my disappointment, it did not.
The one and only time it became a page turner for me was the part when Simon was unjustifiably treated as an insane man by those around him, thrown out of the house and almost barred from seeing his daughter who by the way, was only days away from death. Although the unfairness of it did not quite match reality, I felt soooo mad at Melissa and her entourage.
I was expecting it to be about the kid and her father. it turned out to be a book about the father and the mother and how they dealt with having a sick, dying child between them. I say it’s false advertising. lol 
Anyway, the book has received so many good reviews from fellow book reviewers so there’s a good chance that you might like the book afterall. I encourage you to give it a shot and come back to me with your two cents’ worth.
So there..
