An incredible memoir about one woman's struggle against breast cancer. As a cartoonist for Glamour and the New Yorker magazine, Marisa Marchetto was a self-described, "shoe-crazy, lipstick-obsessed, wine-swilling, pasta-slurping" fashionista. But when she is diagnosed with cancer, just before her wedding no less, she is forced to confront a difficult new reality.
Incredibly, rather than letting cancer defeat her, Marchetto decides to use her artistic skills to recount her struggle. The result is a beatiful love story (she ends up marrying her fiance Silvano) that is filled with humour and wit. A definite inspiration for anyone whose life has been affected by cancer.
