Two best friends face the hardest future of all – a future without each other.

In the tradition of ‘The Fault in Our Stars’, critically acclaimed author Melissa Kantor masterfully captures the joy of friendship and the agony of loss.

Falling in love, coping with school and falling out with each other – everything is thrown into a whole new light.

A heartbreakingly bittersweet tragedy that reveals profound truths about loss, love and the friends who mean the world to you.

Review:

“A beautiful, heartbreaking story about friendship, loss, and what it means to truly live. I loved it.” Lauren Barnholdt, author of ‘The Thing About the Truth’ and ‘Two-Way Street’

“Zoe and Olivia’s deep, real friendship and all its complications ring so true that you will want to hug your best friend close. I adored this book.” Jenn Echols, author of ‘Forget You’ and ‘Going too Far’

From the Back Cover:

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.

The one thing that keeps Zoe moving forward is knowing that Olivia will beat this thing, 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.
