After the End - Clare Mackintosh

Max and Pip are happily married with a young son Dylan, and are forced to make the hardest decisions when he suffers a brain tumor.  When they can't agree on how to proceed with his care they find that their relationship is stretched.  The clever part of this book is in the second half when the author explores the what ifs - with what happens if different choices are made. 

I was touched reading the authors notes at the end of the book, to find out that she had lost her own child and  you can see how her own personal experiences help to make this book realistic and heartfelt.  4/5
