going to spoil it somewhat...or maybe all. if you don't want it spoiled DONT READ THIS!!!the main character (Anna) doesn't have a love interestThe story is told from several different points of view. they are:Anna-girl born to be an allogenic donor for her older sister kate, who has an extremely rare type of lukemia. she wants to stop donating to her sister, even though kate will die, and Anna will lose the only real friend she has.Cambell Alexander-the lawyer whom Anna hires represent her while suing her parents for rights to her own body so that she can stop donating to her sister. he has a helper dog, but no one knows why, he only ever makes smart comments when he's askedSara-the mother of Jesse, Kate, and Anna. she tells the story of the family's life from the time they discover Kate's cancer until the present, which she reaches on the last day of the trial.Brian-father of Jesse, Kate, and Anna. He's a career firefighter and an astronomy nut. He's the one who picked Anna's full name (Andromeda) because in the sky, she's between her mother and her father.Jesse-the oldest of the three siblings, Jess has problems. He's an arsonist, druggie, smoker, boozer. Because he is neither the child with the problem, nor the child who can fix the problem, he was often the one forgotten in the crises that were Kate's relapses.Julia-Jules has a law degree and is a GAL (Guardian ad litem), a person who looks out for a minor's interest in court. She is assigned to Anna's case. She went to highschool with Cambell, and they dated seriously their senior year, until he mysteriously broke up with her at graduation. they both still have feelings for eachother, but would rather die than admit it. Jules also has an identical twin sister named Izzy (Isobel). these two have a really interesting back story. as kids, izzy was the good kid and jules was the rebel. Now, as adults, Izzy is the jewelry-making lesbian, and jules has a normal job and normal haircolor.   See 4 other replies
