One Last Chance to Live by Francisco X. StorkMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Nico wants to be a writer. He is taking a creative writing class at school and can feel the book inside him. After having a dream about his funeral, he begins to wonder if he is going to die young. It doesn’t help that his best friend’s girlfriend died the year before, especially since he was secretly crushing on her. Now his mom is sick, and his brother is getting too close to a local gang. What will Nico learn about himself and his family?
One Last Chance to Live is a stand-alone realistic story that is short and sweet. It was easy to get into but also very easy to forget. The characters were enjoyable while reading, but I didn’t feel pulled back into the story after sitting it down for a while. This would be a good book for reluctant readers, but avid readers will find it lacking.
