Evie is living on borrowed time. She was diagnosed with terminal cancer several months ago and told that by now sheโd be dead. Evie is grateful for every extra day she gets, but she knows that soon this disease will kill her. Until, miraculously, she may have a second chance to live.
All Evie had wanted was her life back, but now that she has it, she feels like thereโs no place for her in itโat least, not for the girl she is now. Her friends and her parents still see her as Cancer Girl, and her boyfriendโs constant, doting attention is suddenly nothing short of suffocating.
Then Evie meets Marcus. She knows that heโs trouble, but she canโt help falling for him. Being near him makes her feel truly, fully alive. Itโs better than a drug. His kiss makes her feel invincibleโbut she may be at the beginning of the biggest free fall of her life.
