Now a major Nexflix film. A heartbreaking story from Marc Klein
perfect for fans of If I Stay and Five Feet Apart. After bouncing
around in foster homes for most of her childhood,
seventeen-year-old Tessa Jacobs doesn't believe she deserves love -
not from her adoptive parents, and certainly not from anyone at
school. But everything changes when she has a chance encounter with
Skylar, a senior from a neighboring town who's a true romantic.
Their budding relationship quickly leads to the kind of passion you
only see in the movies. As her heart begins to open, Tessa starts
to believe she might be deserving of love after all. When tragedy
strikes, Tessa wakes up alone in a hospital room with no memory of
how she got there. And then she learns the horrifying news: Skylar
is dead. As Tessa searches for answers, Skylar's spirit reaches out
to her from the other side. Desperate to see him one last time,
Tessa must race against the clock to uncover the shocking truth of
their relationship - a truth that might just lead to the afterlife
itself. "This story and Marc had such a big impact on me. Somehow
my heart breaks and swells all at the same time while reading this.
A powerful telling of love and loss." - Joey King, star and
