Mischa ("Ish") Love's goal: being part of the first manned mission to Mars ten years from now, when she's twenty-two. But when Ish is diagnosed with a brain tumor, she finds herself dealing with a more immediate and vital problem. The writing is vivid, and the close first-person narration keeps the reader in Ish's fast-paced mind even as that mind deteriorates.
