520    Based on Clare Wise's blog, which she started when she was
       first diagnosed with cancer in 2013, Not That Kind of Love
       charts the highs and lows of the last three years of 
       Clare's life. The end result is not a book that fills you 
       with despair and anguish. On the contrary, Not That Kind 
       of Love should be read by everybody for its candour, and 
       for its warmth and spirit. Clare is an astonishingly 
       dynamic, witty and fun personality, and her positivity and
       energy exude from every page. As she becomes too weak to 
       type, her brother - the actor Greg Wise - takes over, and 
       the book morphs into a beautiful meditation on life, and 
       the necessity of talking about death. With echoes of Atul 
       Gawande's Being Mortal and Cathy Rentzenbrink's The Last 
       Act of Love, it is a very special read that rejoices in 
       the extraordinary and often underestimated sibling bond, 
       and the importance of making the most of the ordinary 
       pleasures life has to offer. As Greg Wise writes in the 
       book: 'Celebrate the small things, the small moments. If 
       you find yourself with matching socks as you leave the 
       house in the morning, that is a cause for celebration. If 
       the rest of the day is spent finding the cure for cancer, 
       or brokering world peace, then that's a bonus.'
