My Review
Beyond Vica is emotionally moving and simply amazing. It is a poignant and heartfelt story of a friendship so strong it is "written in the stars."
Gaby, Brody, and Sam have been best friends since they were five and even as they enter high school their bond remains strong. The three have a secret constellation that tells the tale of their friendship. They call it Vica. As Sam is fighting stage 3 cancer, the constellation means more than ever. Gaby struggles with the knowledge that Sam's life is coming to an end and finds she needs Brody more than ever, but is there more than just a friendship developing? Gaby must accept fate, open her heart to love and learn to let go.
I was absolutely taken by this story. T.C. Booth does an incredible job of taking readers on a meaningful journey of life and death. Eloquently written, Beyond Vica will make you laugh and cry, but most importantly it will touch your heart and open your eyes to what really matters.
I highly recommend picking up a copy. Available on Amazon.
