I am a HUGE fan of Lurlene McDaniel and i have read a lot of her books. Unfortanetly i have to say that this was not one of her best. Usually you can feel the passion in her books, but this one didn't have that. It was just a story with a perfect ending. It was a little to predictable. I would recommand other books from lurlene like telling Christina Goodbye or Angels in Pink. Just not this one. . . . . SORRY LURLENE!!!!

Saving Jessica is a sweet story full of love and faith. When I first started reading this book I wasnt sure if I would like it. It looked really sad and I was afried that someone would die. It ended up being a really good book. I liked it.

This book almost seemed unrealistic. Pretty different from most of Lurlene McDaniel's books.
When the book starts, Jessica's 17 and in the hospital getting some test done. She already has this perfect boyfriend, Jeremy, who adores her. The only "problem" is that he's year and a half younger then her. He's 16. You don't even notice. When Jessica finds out that her kidneys are failing, she's devestated. She's going to have to go on dyalsis 3 days a week for 4 hours for the rest of her life. The machine will do the job of her kidneys. The only other option would be a kidney transplant, which could be risky. Jessica's mad and angry, and hates depending on a machine.
Jeremy of course sticks with her and continues to love her. To be honest, I wasn't seeing the friction. Like, I seriously didn't get why they were togeteher. Anyway, Jeremy decides to donate one of his kidneys to Jessica. He wants to be her donor. Jessica wants to be sure this is what he really wants, but her parents are thrilled. Tragically, Jeremy's parents refuse to let him do it. He them tries to sue them and make it so he's not under her custody. That way he won't need thier permission to donate his kidney to Jessica. It seems like going too far if you ask me.
Read this book if you want it to turn out perfect. But trust me, the romantic aspect was just too perfect to be real.
