I wanted to start this review off with a note from the author which was located at the back of the e-book.
A Note from the Author:
When I was a teenager and reading every book I could get my hands on, I was desperate for a girl that looked like me. For a girl who had cancer and lived. And it was really hard to come by. So, I wrote one.
Plot:
A melancholy but hopeful undertone story with characters that touched my heart in such a personal manner it was hard to shake them off. Brave Enough does not simply speak of cancer and addiction, but it delves into the concept and the everyday battles and torment one faces when plagued by one or both these conditions. The characters, Carson and David hold my heart, and I am not complain because I love them so much and I feel so much for them. This story shows the reality of the ugly and hope of what it is to undergo such a tremendous change in one's life.
As inspirational as this story was, I cannot give it the five stars it deserves, for the missing plot and the writing are the downfalls of the novel. The plot was slow and hard to enjoy because more should have happened but it did not. And, the generic writing added boredom to the sluggishness of the plot.
Overall:
I highly recommend to those who prefer developed character over plot and have a box of tissue at hand.
Disclaimer: I received this book through Netgalley, but it does not affect my feelings or words towards the novel.

Was there a time when something made you feel so worthless or sad?
