A soul-crushing but heart-healing YA romance from the author of
A Thousand Boy Kisses
that asks, what if you found your forever…just when time was running out?
Seventeen-year-old aspiring novelist June Scott has always dreamed of writing an epic love story. One filled with joy, beauty, and the kind of romance that lives on long after the last page is turned. But June's never been in love before—and when she receives sudden, life-altering news, she wonders if she ever will.
Then she meets Jesse Taylor, a boy with his own ticking clock. He lives every like it's his last...because it just might be.
As June and Jesse's worlds collide, what begins as a spark becomes a powerful blaze. Their days slip away like sand through an hourglass, full of stolen kisses and quiet moments that feel infinite. And as June captures their love in her own words, she creates something that even more infinite—a story for the world, a gift for the boy who changed everything.
Because love doesn't die, even if people do.
It lives on—in memories, in words, and in the hearts of those brave enough to feel it.
