Description
Perfect for the readers of Midnight Sun by Trish Cook and John Green’s A Fault in Our Stars.
Winning means staying alive. Losing means giving up.
I’m not a quitter.
That’s why I’m still alive when every doctor agrees I shouldn’t be.
Dealt a horrid genetic deck of cards, I live with Batten disease. It’s rare, incurable, and always fatal.
Since my diagnosis, my parents, family, and doctors have worked tirelessly to find a cure. Yet the disease still took things from me . . . mostly my eyesight and my energy.
But I refuse to give it my happiness.
At almost seventeen, I’m still ticking off the boxes of my dream bucket list. I’ll keep pushing for the seeing-eye dog . . . but only because romance seems too far-fetched. A girl can dream. Right?
Maybe this summer will be different . . .
