It is an ABC family show.  So, I wanted to watch this show because it’s about a young 20 something girl who gets diagnosed with leukemia.  Thought it would be interesting to see how they are portraying “sick” people.  April, the lead character, finds out she is sick from her distant uncle telling her she has cancer in the middle of the night.  She doesn’t show any signs of being sick expect for one fainting episode.  hmmm.  So, she doesn’t tell anyone in her family about her “cancer”.  Goes and visits her already dead father and learns that there is another girl that is her dad’s secret daughter.  I know it’s supposed to be a family drama but they are really dragging this out.  Not sure if I will continue to watch or not because it doesn’t seem very realistic, duh family drama.  But typically people don’t avoid cancer diagnosis.  Just saying.  So to be continued on this one.

The fist time I saw the preview I was extremely adamant about not watching this show.  Why would I want to see someone with cancer doing it better than me.  But then it made me curious how society is seeing or think that cancer is.  How functional people are and what not.  Basically to see if they got it right.
