All Kate wants is to live. Battling cystic fibrosis is hard enough, dying from it is even harder. When her mom moves them closer to the hospital in the middle of her senior year, Kate’s determined to isolate herself—saving everyone the trouble of befriending a dying girl. It’s a difficult task when cheerful optimist Giana insists on being Kate’s friend.
Kate’s resolve falters even more when curly-haired Kyler captivates her with his sweet melodies. As her emotional walls collapse, Kate realizes the people she’s been pushing away may be the ones giving her a reason to live. But it might be too late.

11. My favorite authors are Jane Austen, Brandon Sanderson, Maria V. Snyder, Jessica Day George, and Shannon Hale. If you haven’t heard of them, well…why haven’t you heard of them? You’re missing out!
12. I like to sing, but only in a large group. I pull some sweet solos when I’m all alone, but no one will ever get to hear them!
