Fear of Missing out

Fear of Missing out
by Kate McGovern


Astrid, a teenager, has survived cancer one time, and now her worst fear has come true, the cancer is back.  She doesn't want to go through another round of chemo, the sickness, losing her hair, fighting for her life.  She just wants to be a normal teenager.

She hears about cryopreservation and is intrigued.  Is this a way that she could continue on and have a life down the road?  She take a road trip with her boyfriend and best friend to learn more.

The cryoperservation seems a little far fetched.  And it's expensive, her friends start a GoFundMe page to help her pay for it, if that is what she decides to do.  

She's so young, already having cancer twice.  It's just sad for her and her loved ones, particularly because the cancer came back strong.  Her mother would like her to give a drug trial a try, but Astrid is just tired of fighting the cancer.  It was a sad book.
