In this hilarious and irreverent coming-of-age YA novel, three teens confront uncertain futures and embark on a wild adventure that challenges their identities. Hattie Larken, a compulsive liar, feels detached from reality and is desperate to escape her mundane life, burdened by guilt over her father's past and her mother's financial struggles. Everything changes when Hattie discovers she’s literally dying due to a parasite linked to her mom’s company. She’s not alone; two classmates, Carmen, who seems perfect with her class presidency and loving girlfriend, and Albie, a quiet survivor of childhood cancer, are also affected. With only thirty to sixty days left to live, the trio forms an unlikely alliance to make the most of their remaining time. Their escapades include stealing a boat to Miami, adopting a turtle named Scooter, and sneaking into a sold-out music festival. Hattie also seizes the opportunity to film their misadventures to help her mom financially. Snarky, bold, and deeply real, this story explores how the trio grapples with the reality of imminent death and ultimately discovers what it means to truly live.
