Johanna Kelly's Book Review

Deadline

By Chris Crutcher

*****stars

What would you do if you had only one more year to live? In Deadline, Ben Wolf finds out he has less than a year to live due to a rare blood disease; if he undergoes treatment, he most likely wouldn’t live too much longer, and treatment would make him tired and weak. So Ben decides to make his last year, his senior year in high school, his best. In this process, he finds a deeper meaning to life, and a deeper meaning to what secrets can reveal.

Deadline is in my opinion, the perfect book. In 316 pages, we see love, hate, abuse, mental illness, and so much more. Deadline will comfort you, make you laugh and cry, and make you see the world from a different perspective.

Everyone should read Deadline.

We did this for book club last year. I think you would like it since you like sports books, but it is much more than that.
