    About this ebook

    Olga Gay Worontzoff thinks her biggest problems are an awful name and not attending prom with Conner, her best friend and secret crush since kindergarten.

    Then, Conner is killed in a freak boating accident and Olga feels responsible for his death.

    When she downs an entire bottle of pills to deal with the emotional pain, her parents force her into counseling. There, her therapist writes a prescription in the form of a life list titled “18 Things”: eighteen quests to complete the year of her eighteenth birthday.

    But there’s more to Olga’s quests than meets the eye and when her therapist reveals a terrifying secret, her world is shaken.

    There’s only one thing she knows for certain: her choices won’t just affect her future, but all eternity.

    Jamie Ayres

    Jamie Ayres writes young adult paranormal love stories by night and teaches young adults as an English teacher by day. When not at home on her laptop or at school, she can often be found at a local book store grabbing random children and reading to them. So far, she has not been arrested for this. Although she spent her youthful summers around Lake Michigan, she now lives in Florida with her prince charming, two children (sometimes three based on how Mr. Ayres is acting), and a basset hound. She really does have grandmothers named Olga and Gay but unlike her heroine, she’s thankfully not named after either one of them. She loves lazy pajama days, the first page of a good book, stupid funny movies, and sharing stories with fantastic people like you. Her books include the three installments of her My So-Called Afterlife trilogy, 18 Things, 18 Truths, and 18 Thoughts. Visit her online via Twitter, Facebook, or at www.jamieayres.com.
