Julie Murphy 
Side Effects May Vary [EPUB ebook] 

What if you’d been living your life as if you were dying – only to find out that you had your whole future ahead of you? When Alice is diagnosed with leukaemia and time is suddenly not a luxury, she convinces her friend Harvey to help her with a crazy bucket list. It’s as much about revenge as redemption and warped or not, it gives Alice the focus she needs when everything else seems pointless. Then she goes into remission. Now faced with the consequences of her actions, can Alice repair the damage she’s caused to those around her? And maybe, just maybe, show the one who loves her most how much she loves him in return? ‘Side Effects May Vary explodes with brutal honesty, brilliant wit, and unflinching heart.’ John Corey Whaley, author of Where Things Come Back ‘Julie Murphy’s SIDE EFFECTS MAY VARY is a funny, heartfelt, honest look at the beauty and the risk of getting a second chance.
