I love that this show takes something like cancer that is so hard on families and shows how someone can still be strong and happy despite what she is going through. The character Alexa is written wonderfully. They have a great balance between the teenage drama and the sick patient. Katie provides great comic relief. As someone who has lost a few close friends to cancer and other ailments its nice to see shows that show positive characters just doing their best to survive and make the best our of bad circumstances, even throwing in the struggle of a single mom. This show definitely takes the motto "live, love, laugh" to heart.
