So, I just finished "Would you?" By Marthe Jocelyn. Like, I said, Claire's friends and family are taking it hard that she's in a coma. For example, Kate bursts into tears whenever she talks about it. Also, Joe-Boy (Claire's old boyfriend), goes into a state of depression. Pretty much everyday, Nat goes to the hospital to talk to Claire. At this point in the book, I think Ms. Jocelyn might have run out of ideas, since no new twists or turns are coming up. Although, I guess I was wrong...

Since the E.E.G hasn't worked, they must do some back round information. After finding out that Claire chose to be an organ donor, they sadly announce that it's time to "pull the plug" on Claire. She's dead. Gone. Nat handles it surprisingly well. She has no fits, and she's done with her weird dreams. The end of the book is a scene in Nat's kitchen on Claire's birthday. Her mother makes ten batches of cookie's for Claire. Then, she invites Natalie's friends over after school to eat them.
What a sweet story.

I really enjoyed this book, and I recommend it for anyone looking for a deeply emotional book.

PS I commented on Andrew's blog.

  2. That is awful! It sounds like a good book, but it is terrible the choice they have to make. I don't think that any family should be forced to make the decision to end their own daughters life.
