I started reading this on the ferry on the way home from Mallorca. Heartbreaking story even though you know what's going to happen I shed a tear. At other times it made me laugh as well.
Am going to turn it into a bookray if anyone is interested.
Thank you so much for sending it to me!

Off the back:
"Set in a world where a fridge is a luxury, cars have starting handles, and where bingo and coupons bring in the little extras, Just One More Day is a deeply moving true-life account of how the spectre of death moved into Susan's family, and how hard they all tried to pretend it wasn't there."

At last I started reading the book. I really need to apologise many many times for keeping the bookray for so long. I know there always will be one reason or another but real life took over Bookcrossing for some time and my reading went down.
Anyway,thanks for the patience,I promise that now I shall be very quick, once started.

The book was definitely well written. I became absorbed in the shifting narration through the voices of mother and daughter. The characters were very lively. I could easily picture Susan and her family. I felt sorry for everyone of them, including Eddress, who had a lot of good in her in spite of her stubborness and harshness towards her Eddie and Susan. She seemed a tough woman,from the older generation when feelings were something to be kept deep underneath,and growing soft was not encouraged. She definitely had problems with sharing her emotions. She isolated herself from the family,denying the truth of her illness,unwilling to speak to anyone about it,trying to pretend it was not there. So she devoided herself and her children of sharing and proper grieving in the last months. Eddress was seeing her role as housewife and was feeling unadequate and useless when she became too weak to do anything in the house.
I liked the father,Eddie. He was really caring and loving,and bore with his wife`s mood shifts.

Susan seems like the one who suffered most from her mother`s difficult character. She didn`t benefit much from this troubled daughter-mother relationship but perhaps when she grows up, she may become to understand her mother better and appreciate her efforts and strength.

Somehow the reader closes the book hoping for a better future for this family.

Thanks for including me in this bookray,I really enjoyed the book!

Oooh, just got back from a week of house/kitten-sitting and this was waiting for me. Thanks! 

Journal Entry 16 by Vamperstein8782 from Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk United Kingdom on Friday, May 02, 2008

While this book is very well written and is obviously from the heart it failed to really draw me in or strike a chord with me, which is rather odd as I could totally identify with a lot of the aspects of Susan's life.

I'm contacting mrsjones to see if she's still interested in reading this, otherwise I'll wild release it in a couple of weeks.

Journal Entry 18 by mrsjones from Hamilton, Ohio USA on Thursday, June 19, 2008

I had such hopes for this book, but could barely get through it. The beginning sounded like it was told through the eyes of a petulant child, and was horribly written. Or maybe I just couldn't get into the book. I see other people thought it was very well-written, but for me, the writing got in the way of the story.
