    About this ebook

    There is nothing extraordinary about Tucker O’Shay’s dreams.
    Go to college. Become president. Fall in love.
    And pretend like he has enough time to get it all done.

    Sixteen-year-old Sarah Miller doesn’t expect anything out of the ordinary when she begins her first day at the one-room-school house in her new hometown of Rocky Knob. But when she meets seventeen-year-old Tucker O’Shay—the boy with the fatal illness who volunteers to tutor her in algebra—she finds herself swept up in a friendship that changes the way she sees the world and a love that changes her life.

      I am not okay right now.

      I am just not okay.

      I am so. Not. Okay.

      I was doing pretty good up until the point when Tucker asked if he could say he loved Sarah. Then I completely and totally lost it. Completely. UGH my heart!

      This book hurt my heart. Don't read it if you don't want to cry, or at least have your heart broken.

      Sarah and Tucker were such sweet, amazing characters. I wasn't super attached to them at first, but eventually they captured my heart. Tucker's attitude, and philosophy and outlook on life was so profound and beautiful. Sarah was such a realistic character, and I found myself relating to her more and more as I read.

      All in all, a very sweet, heartbreaking book! Recommended!

      CONTENT NOTE: There is a fair bit of romance, and a few semi-detailed kisses. Recommended for ages 16 .
