Goodnight.... stupid book about people dying...

So I don't bemoan my life at all and I never use the past to play the victim.  I'm fairly good at moving on and getting past things.  However, there are things that I have absolutely no desire to do...

1.  I don't watch doctor or hospital shows... when you've spent as much real life time in hospitals as we did, why in the HELL would I want to watch a fake hospital show?
2.  I don't watch movies when I can tell from the outset that one of the lead characters is going to die. 
3.  I don't read anything that even hints at sad or having long sad parts.

So, what do I read?  Some autobiographies but mostly work books on leadership, etc and romance novels.  Romance novels are perfect -- they ALWAYS have a happy ending and everything works out in the end and wraps up nicely. 

So how upset was I when I found this book on my kindle that the description was for a story where an author meets a college professor on twitter who is on sabbatical in Europe.  It's witty and entertaining.. they are slowly falling for each other.. it's all sweet and funny... and then they hit me in the face with the fact that he's not really in Europe -- he's really in a hospital, dying, of cancer.  He wont' even tell the girl what hospital he's in...

I am angry.. because I was so into the book and the characters that I had to read it to the end to see what happened and they DIDN'T EVEN SAY WHETHER HE LIVES OR DIES!!! 

pretty angry about that.. here I am.. breaking one of my cardinal rules.. reading about someone dying.. sobbing like a baby.. and it doesn't even have a happy ending.. it ends with her tracking him down in the hospital and going to visit.. it ends with him saying hi to her.. but we never know if he lives or dies. He just says hello and it's over.

WHAT A RIP!!

I'm seriously angry over this...

Yes it was a good book, but I feel betrayed because they didn't hint in the book description so that I could choose if I read a book about dying or not...

Assholes!!
