Die mans in Rose se lewe het haar almal gedrop. Na haar boetie, Gerard, se dood het haar ouers ook van haar vergeet. Deesdae kyk haar ma hopeloos te diep in die bottel en dwaal haar pa se oog heeltemal te veel. Vir Rose is hulle net Blackie en Verona, die mense met wie sy 'n huis moet deel tot sy agtien is. Haar laaste hoop en anker was Rodriek, maar ook hy begin vreemd optree. Hoekom maak hy asof sy saam met hom iets spesiaals gedeel het? Het hy haar drankie gedokter om haar in die bed te kry? Hoekom kan sy niks van die aand onthou nie? Vir die eerste keer in haar lewe is Rose werklik alleen. Selfs haar boesemvriendinne mag nie die detail van die verskriklike aand weet nie. In 'n tyd waar niks sin maak nie, is Rose van een ding seker: sy moet Rodriek terugkry. As sy haar kaarte reg speel kan sy dalk haar ouers se aandag ook terugkry. Sorrie maak nie gesond nie is 'n verhaal oor oorsaak en gevolg, waarheid en leuens en wat dit beteken om verantwoordelikheid vir jou eie lewe te neem. Anzil Kulsen toor met woorde sodat jy wegraak in 'n onvoorspelbare verhaal van vriendskap, berou, liefde, drome en wraak. Met Anzil se sukses tot op hede, is dit geen verassing nie dat hierdie boek moeiteloos alle rasse en kulture insluit sonder om 'n wroeg-en-preek-boek te wees. 'n Sorrie maak nie gesond nie is landswyd in toonaangewende boekwinkels beskikbaar en ook as e-boek te koop.

Can you love someone you can never touch? Stella Grant likes to be in control - even though her totally out of control lungs have sent her in and out of the hospital most of her life. At this point, what Stella needs to control most is keeping herself away from anyone or anything that might pass along an infection and jeopardize the possibility of a lung transplant. Six feet apart. No exceptions. The only thing Will Newman wants to be in control of is getting out of this hospital. He couldn’t care less about his treatments, or a fancy new clinical drug trial. Soon, he’ll turn eighteen and then he’ll be able to unplug all these machines and actually go see the world, not just its hospitals. Will’s exactly what Stella needs to stay away from. If he so much as breathes on Stella she could lose her spot on the transplant list. Either one of them could die. The only way to stay alive is to stay apart. But suddenly six feet doesn’t feel like safety. It feels like punishment. What if they could steal back just a little bit of the space their broken lungs have stolen from them? Would five feet apart really be so dangerous if it stops their hearts from breaking too? |
