All's fair in love and death ... or is it?
Flint Larsen has 41 days, 9 hours, and 42 minutes to live. He's known exactly when he's going to die since he was eight years old and half-lifed, a small twinge that tells a person when they've lived half their life. From that moment, Flint's done everything he can to make his death more bearable. Cutting off all his friends, refusing to eat his favorite foods, reading only the most depressing literature by long-dead writers. He plans to spend his final days back in his hometown with his parents, quietly waiting to die.
But then he meets September Harrington, an utter explosion of brilliance and fun, and all his plans fly out the window. September has dedicated herself to curing the half-life, landing a coveted internship at the world-renowned Half-Life Institute. She has her own past that she's refusing to deal with, choosing instead to spend her nights living it up with her friends and her days deep in the lab, where she's working to find a cure.
When their worlds collide, it feels like the start of an epic, once-in-a-lifetime love. Only Flint can't bring himself to tell September he's dying, and September's keeping secrets too. The closer they get, the less time they have together and the more their secrets threaten to destroy everything. Can September and Flint save each other, or are their days numbered from the start?
This is no ordinary apocalypse...
Hannah Ashton wakes up to silence. The entire city around her is empty, except for one other person: Leo Sterling. Leo might bethe hottest boy ever (and not just because he's the only one left), but he's also too charming, too selfish, and too devastating forhis own good, let alone Hannah's.Stuck with only each other, they explore a world with no parents, no friends, and no school and realize that they can bethemselves instead of playing the parts everyone expects of them. Hannah doesn't have to be just an overachieving, music-boxperfectballerina, and Leo can be more than a slacker, 80s-glam-metal-obsessed guitarist. Leo is a burst of honesty and fun thatdraws Hannah out, and Hannah's got Leo thinking about someone other than himself for the first time.Together, they search for answers amid crushing isolation. But while their empty world may appear harmless . . . it's not. Becausenothing is quite as it seems, and if Hannah and Leo don't figure out what's going on, they might just be torn apart forever.
