You can’t fight time, or love . . .

A coming-of-age love story with a twist

When Theodore Brown looks into a person’s eyes he sees a number: the exact number of days he’ll spend with them. It’s hard to make friends when there’s a literal countdown!

He’s kept everyone at a safe distance since his dad died. But now that he’s in college, he fears he’s missing out. Even his stuffy English professor thinks he needs to get a life. So, to improve his mental health and sharpen his writing skills, he decides to do just that.

Then Lil Sanchez crashes into his world like a tidal wave. She’s fearless, creative, and only around until the end of summer. But Theo begins to wonder if the pleasure of knowing her might be worth the pain of losing her.

Only time will tell — and the clock is ticking . . .

For teens who love:
– a book you just can’t put down and have to read all night
– a love story for the ages
– stories that are dramatic and funny and sad, all wrapped up in one great package
– books like The Perks of Being a Wallflower
