In reality, kids get all kinds of cancers, go through unspeakable torture and painful treatments, but walk away, fine in the end. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIsabelle, not quite 15, is living a normal life of fighting with her younger brother, being disgusted with her parents, and hoping to be noticed by a cute guy. Everything changes in an instant when she is diagnosed with lymphoma-- and even her best friend, Kay, thinks Izzy is going to die. But she doesn't, and her humor--sardonic, sharp, astute -- makes reading this book accessible and actually enjoyable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the acclaimed author of \u003ci\u003eThe Girls\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePoison Ivy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSide Effects\u003c\/i\u003e is about the pain, fear, and unlikely comedy of 15-year-old Izzy's journey, told in her own powerful and authentic voice.
