Sydney carries a terrible gift. She knows exactly when someone will die if they have less than seventy-two hours left. The knowledge has made her sharp-tongued and cynical about life's meaning. Then she meets Peter, whose relentless optimism grates against everything she believes about the world's cruelty. He makes her laugh despite herself. He challenges her nihilistic worldview with his stubborn hope. As Sydney finds herself drawn to this boy who sees beauty where she sees only endings, she must confront what it means to love someone when you possess the power to foresee death. Peter transforms how Sydney understands both living and dying, but their connection forces her to reckon with the weight of her supernatural ability and whether hope can coexist with the knowledge of mortality's approach.
