This movie is based off of the book "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Piccoult. This is from the back of the book: "Anna (Abigail Breslin) is not sick, but she might as well be. By age thirteen, she has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots so that her older sister Kate can somehow fight leukemia that has plagued her since childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), Anna was conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate-a life role that she has never challenged . . . until now. Like most teenagers, Anna is beginning to question who she truly is. But unlike most teenagers, she has always been defined in terms of her sister-and so Anna makes a decision that for most would be unthinkable, a decision that will tear her family apart and have perhaps fatal consequences for her sister she loves.

Yeah, it's a bit hard to read it fast, because I've been so busy with school the last few weeks. And all those medical terms are really hard! haha, I don't really get them, but I do get the story!

I do get most of it and the specific aren't just too important to know. I don't have to know, but if I don't get something that looks important, I do look it up!
