Summary:

The girl, Bec is from a small town in Maine. The guy, Mitch is from a big rich town in Chicago. They both go to the Universtiy of Chicago and fall in love their freshman year through each other's roomates. Bec continuously gets sick throughout the course of the years and Mitch finally takes her to the hospital. At the hospital she is dianosed with terminal lung cancer. She spends the rest of her life at her hometown and Maine, and Mitch stays with her and her family. It's a really hard time for both of them and I wanted to show that there isn't always a happy ending in romance novels.
