‘“Honest and unflinching, this is a compelling story of one teen’s struggle with cancer, love, and living. Praise for Side Effects May Vary School Library Journal Julie Murphy's Side Effects May Vary is a fearless and moving tour de force about love, life, and facing your own mortality. But has she caused irreparable damage to the people around her - and to the one person who matters most? Now Alice is forced to face the consequences of all that she's said and done, as well as her true feelings for Harvey. But just when Alice's scores are settled, she goes into remission. She convinces her friend Harvey, who she knows has always had feelings for her, to help her with a crazy bucket list that's as much about revenge (humiliating her ex-boyfriend and getting back at her archnemesis) as it is about hope (doing something unexpectedly kind for a stranger). To maximize the time she does have, she vows to spend her final months righting wrongs - however she sees fit. When 16-year-old Alice is diagnosed with leukemia, her prognosis is grim. What if you'd been living your life as if you were dying - only to find out that you had your whole future ahead of you?
