This is about the third one." --- Angel Young is going to die. Or at least he thought so. But when he prepares himself for the fall of the 7 stories, he gets a strange call that suddenly stops him. Haruki Nakamura is going to die. Or at least he plans on it. But right when he looks down the face of his open bedroom window, he decides to give life one last shot to keep him around. When a wrong call to the right person turns both of the boys' deteriorating lives towards each other, they make a pact to put off their deaths for one year in a last promise they will give their world one more chance before saying goodbye. And if at the end of it they still can't find reason to go on, they'll both fall together. After all, if they can't save themselves, then they can at least try to save each other.

2020 WATTYS WINNER in NEW ADULT! Oliver Ausman has been given a second chance at life, but it's hard to feel grateful when he was the one trying to end it in the first place. Returning to his normal life after being released from the hospital is hard, especially since his parent's idea of normal is made up of dinner parties, prep school, fancy suits, and fake manners-- all paired with a complete disregard for the mental health of their firstborn. He's long been fed up with it, but the final straw is when he finds out that his "father" isn't actually his father at all. Oliver decides he's had enough of the perfect facade, so he packs a suitcase and grabs his younger brother, "borrowing" his mother's car to sneak off on a trip to find his biological father. But he never expected to pick up a girl with her own similar set of problems, to be followed across the country by a money-hungry pair of criminals, or most of all, to find out that maybe this life thing isn't as bad as he thought.
