Fifteen-year-old Scarlet Killian has one chance for a normal life. Only problem? It just might kill her. The only thing fifteen-year-old Scarlet Killian has ever wanted is a chance at a normal life. Diagnosed with a rare and untreatable heart condition, Scarlet has come to terms with the fact that despite the best efforts of her doctors and parents, she's going to die. Literally of a broken heart. She has never taken the school bus. Or giggled with friends during lunch. Or spied on a crush out of the corner of her eye. So when her parents offer her three days to prove she can survive high school, Scarlet knows her time is now... or never. For the first time in her life she makes real friends. But she also makes new discoveries about the truth behind her illness... a truth that puts much more than her life at risk.
