ABOUT THE BOOK

From the bestselling author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz comes a heartbreaking contemporary novel of a dying teenager’s final wish, a lonely young man’s journey towards connection, and the unexpected friendship they find together. Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, Jodi Picoult, and John Green.

Jesse is 15. She loves her friends, her little brother and her parents – even when they’re arguing, which feels like constantly these days. But most of all, she loves playing video games. Even from her hospital bed.

Alex is 29. He doesn’t love a lot of things. To be honest, he’s not really sure he knows how to. His desk at work, as a VR games designer, is empty, much like his life feels sometimes.

Then Jesse makes a wish. A simple one: a video experience made of her life, something to be there, just in case she isn’t.

One loving teenager.
One lonely adult.
Which one will get the happy ending?

Heather Morris’s brand-new novel is a fresh direction for her but speaks to all the themes that readers know and love her for: hope in the darkest of places, family, love, and courage.
