The irony, of course, is that she seems so vibrant and full of life and piss and vinegar when, in fact, she is very near death from the book’s first pages. *sob* I got to page 4–FOUR–and was already crossing all of my appendages that she wouldn’t die because I insta-loved her. You made me laugh from the very, VERY beginning and I can’t help but admire and respect and WISH to have your strength, humor, spunk, and grace in the face of your own mortality. You twisted my heart into knots and then made it explode. Sometimes in life we meet people who just brand themselves onto our hearts and minds. The reason that THE PROBABILITY OF MIRACLES will be permanently burrowed in your brain is because of one thing: CAM COOPER. It’s beautiful and touching and funny and bright and it will stay with you for a long time.

This one is WAY DEEP (AH! THE DEEPNESS!), you guys, and you should not miss it. This book…I’m having a hard time thinking of the exact right words, except to say that it really touched me and made me THINK about ALL-CAPS kind of things: life, the pricelessness of what’s really important, all the moments I don’t pay enough attention to, and believing in things that can’t be explained with science or medicine. THE PROBABILITY OF MIRACLES filled my heart all the way to the tippy-top with hope and love and AWESOME, so much so that it eventually cracked and broke and DIED because it couldn’t hold any more. As Cam checks each item off the list, she finally learns to believe – in love, in herself, and even in miracles. But it’s undeniable that strange things happen in Promise: everlasting sunsets purple dandelions flamingoes in the frigid Atlantic an elusive boy named Asher and finally, a mysterious envelope containing a list of things for Cam to do before she dies. The last thing she wants to do in the short life she has left is move 1,500 miles away to Promise, Maine – a place known for the miraculous events that occur there. Summary: Dry, sarcastic, sixteen-year-old Cam Cooper has spent the last seven years in and out hospitals.
