LIFE'S TOO SHORT by Abby Jimenez

LIFE’S TOO SHORT by Abby Jimenez Life should be fun with a dire medical prognosis. That is Vanessa’s mantra and the way she lives her life with the specter of ALS in her future. SO… she has rule. She doesn’t date. She travels where ever and when ever she pleases. She video blogs about her adventures. She takes care of her family. This book could be real downer. It is most definitely NOT! There is a laugh on nearly every page. There is romance and a baby and a dog with more problems than Vanessa and her neighbor! Her neighbor is gorgeous, and kind, and helpful, and steady, and on her vblog he is known as “Jesus” abs.” This could have en just a fluff book, but there is plenty of food for serious thought. The main characters are well developed and the plot is attention grabbing. Book clubs will love this book. (For those who wish to avoid it, be warned there is a fair amount of sex without benefit of marriage and a fair amount of “bad” language.) 4 of 5 stars
