Synopsis
Twenty-nine.
The age that Emmy Slate is supposed to die.
For the last decade, every eighteen-year-old’s expiration date has been determined by Ex-Inc, the mysterious corporation that wields unprecedented control over society. When Emmy learns that she’s set to expire before her thirtieth birthday, her dreams for the future—college, a career, a family, even getting a dog—are shattered.
A dozen years later, Emmy spends her days attending group counseling, hiking in Portland’s Forest Park, and preparing to check into the Ex-Inc facility where she will wait out her expiration date. Though she’s resigned to her fate, a harrowing encounter and unlikely friendship spark inside of her something she hasn’t felt in years—the will to survive.
Ex-Inc wrote off Emmy as a bad bet years ago. Can she prove them wrong? And uncover Ex-Inc’s greatest secret in the process?
The first book of The Expired Trilogy, Set to Expire takes place in a reality not so different from our own. At once heartbreaking and humorous, it’s the story of a resilient young woman finding love, strength, and even hope in the face of insurmountable odds.
