Fran takes such a superficial approach to cancer and I must say I fealt deeply offended. I guess it is nice to laugh your way through an illness, but if you have ever had cancer you will know that it is not funny. The problem with the book is you can't make light of some things (cancer being one of them) and if the author had a better understanding of what people go through when they lose a loved one to cancer I think she would have written another book.
