CRAZY SEXY CANCER TIPS: Kris Carr: skirt!: Non-Fiction: 203 pages

Actress and photographer Kris Carr thought she had a hangover, but a Jivamukti yoga class didn’t provide its usual cure. A visit to her doctor confirmed her “liver looked like Swiss cheese,” covered with cancerous tumors. She entered trench warfare (wearing cowboy boots into the MRI machine, no less), vowing, “Cancer needed a makeover and I was just the gal to do it!” She began writing and filming her journey, documenting her interactions with friends, doctors, alternative “quacks,” blind dates, and other women with cancer—sadly a growing group

After seeing a documentary on The Learning Channel about Kris Carr I was interested to learn more about her and her experiences with cancer. Although I do not have cancer, this was still an intriguing book. Kris mentions in her book the need for support and information for young adults that are diagnosed with cancer. There are resources for children and older adults with cancer, but not much for young adults, so she decided to share her cancer journey with the world through her documentary and her book. I would recommend this book to young adults (especially women) with cancer and their loved ones. Kris does a great job of sharing her experience and what she has learned since being diagnosed, be aware though that Kris doesn’t mince words and some may take offense at her language throughout the book.
