Tessa Scott is sixteen and dying.

Diagnosed with a terminal illness, she creates a list of things she wants to do before she dies—experiences she doesn’t want to miss out on, no matter how big, small, or reckless they might seem.

But as she begins ticking off her list, life becomes more complicated than she expected. Relationships deepen, love enters her world, and the reality of what she’s facing becomes impossible to ignore.

Through moments of joy, fear, and vulnerability, Tessa discovers what truly matters—and what it means to live, even in the face of death.
