[quote=Anonymous]Crazy Rich Asians. Not my usual type of book AT ALL. But I loved them. Lurlene McDaniel was a favorite YA trashy author. The teenage protagonist always had some chronic illness, often terminal, and there would be a soap opera tragedy. Like, two friends on the heart transplant list needed the same organ. Or a girl was in a horrible car accident with her mother and her mother died and she lived but the blood transfusion gave her AIDS. Or the girl with the fatal brain tumor finds her true love, who has cystic fibrosis. Or the other girl with the type 1 diabetes and eating disorder has a huge fight with her hemophiliac boyfriend but then he gets kicked by a horse. Absolutely maudlin garbage and I loved it. My mother bought me the books but I thought her eyes would about roll out of her head every time she did.[/quote]
