When I first saw this book the whole cover of it made me read the back. It is vibrant and it drags you in before you even think about it. On the front cover of the book it says “ Life Goes On Until It Doesn't “and I think that is definitely what the book talk about. I think the author did a hands down great job at putting the book together with all different aspects of life in it. The author, Robyn Schneider, created this story so that whoever reads it can be put in any of the character’s position, and live that life. That is exactly what she did she put me into this world where I have total-drug-resistant tuberculosis, and I have to live my best life at that moment in time. Extraordinary means is not a story of being sick and dealing with it. It is a story of having second chances, and what it means to have courage and strength that you’ll figure out your place in the world, and by every means you will get there. If I could talk to the author, I would say thank you for getting me back into reading. I have never read a more heartfelt but courageous book and I am certainly glad I had the chance of reading this one. I would not want to change one thing about the book. I just wish that this book was apart of a series because I am devastated the way it ended. I would recommend this book to anyone, this book makes me feel like anybody could relate to it. My favorite quote from this book would have to be “My miracle wasn't a cure. It was a second chance. But second chances aren’t forever. And even miracles have an expiration date.” (Schneider 314) I feel like that quote puts the whole book into perspective. It means you should live in the moment, and you might get second chances but don't count on
