But then my mother began to sob, her entire body shaking in response. “You’re in remission.”įor a moment, it was quiet and everything felt okay.
“Alice.” His brown eyes found mine, and it was only me and him. But has she done irreparable damage to the people around her, and to the one person who matters most? Now Alice is forced to face the consequences of all that she’s said and done, as well as her true feelings for Harvey. But just when Alice’s scores are settled, she goes into remission. She convinces her friend Harvey, whom she knows has always had feelings for her, to help her with a crazy bucket list that’s as much about revenge (humiliating her ex-boyfriend and getting back at her arch nemesis) as it is about hope (doing something unexpectedly kind for a stranger and reliving some childhood memories). To maximize the time she does have, she vows to spend her final months righting wrongs - however she sees fit. When sixteen-year-old Alice is diagnosed with leukemia, her prognosis is grim. What if you’d been living your life as if you were dying - only to find out that you had your whole future ahead of you?
