Synopsis

In the tradition of The Fault in Our Stars, critically acclaimed author Melissa Kantor masterfully captures the joy of friendship, the agony of loss, and the unique experience of being a teenager in this poignant new novel about a girl grappling with her best friend's life-threatening illness.

A person's whole life, she's lucky to have one or two real friends. Friends who are like family… For Zoe, that someone is Olivia. So when Olivia is diagnosed with leukemia, Zoe is determined to put on a brave face and be positive for her best friend.

Even when she isn't sure what to say. Even when Olivia misses months of school. Even when Zoe starts falling for Calvin, Olivia's crush.

The one thing that keeps Zoe moving forward is knowing that Olivia will beat this, and everything will go back to the way it was before. It has to. Because the alternative is too terrifying for her to even imagine.

• Unforgettable Friendship: From hospital waiting rooms to late-night fears, Zoe is determined to be the rock her best friend needs, even when she feels like she’s falling apart herself.
• Falling for Her Best Friend’s Crush: Zoe knows her focus should be on Olivia, but she can’t stop thinking about Calvin—the one person who is completely off-limits.
• A Story of Grief and Loss: A devastatingly realistic portrayal of a friendship tested by illness, perfect for readers who love heartfelt stories that deliver a good cry.
• Coming of Age: Navigating first love, high school drama, and the potential loss of her closest friend, Zoe is forced to grow up faster than she ever imagined.

It was supposed to be the best year of their lives. . . .

Zoe and her best friend, Olivia, have always had Big Plans to tour the world as prima ballerinas and live together in a swanky Manhattan apartment. But when they're cut from the ballet company, their dreams for the future evaporate. Suddenly, Zoe's dodging cheerleaders who want her and Olivia to go out for the squad, and Olivia's got a crush on Calvin Taylor, who Zoe can't stand.

Zoe can't imagine anything worse happening . . . until Olivia gets sick. Really sick.

Zoe is determined to put on a brave face and be positive for her friend. Even when she isn't sure what to say. Even when Olivia misses months of school. Even when Zoe starts falling for Calvin.
