About this ebook

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.


  • Teen Books About Friendship: Zoe and Olivia share a bond that feels more like family. They’ve been through everything together—until a diagnosis changes it all.

  • Forbidden Romance: As if things weren't complicated enough, Zoe starts developing feelings for Calvin. The only problem? He’s the guy Olivia has a crush on.
  • A Heartbreaking Story: Perfect for fans of The Fault in Our Stars, this emotional journey explores the agony of loss, the joy of friendship, and the difficult choices we make for the people we love.

This is one of my new favorite books! It is definitely a tear jerker, but this is amazingly written and the friendship between Livvie and Zoe is just beautiful! It tells you to not wait around, you have to live everyday like its your last one. I thought about this, and I won't take my life for granted anymore.
