Running from her past and stumbling through the present, who knows what lies ahead in this new life in Florida?

Zoe has it all; the perfect boyfriend, the perfect friends… the perfect life. In one second, her perfect world comes crashing down, when an attempted suicide unexpectedly triggers events leading to her accidental death. The reaper gives her gets a second chance at life, if she can find 3 people, excluding her family, in 42 days, who genuinely care for her. Harder than expected, Zoe finds that her world… wasn’t so perfect after all. *The main idea of accidently dying does not belong to me, but from a show called ‘49 Days’. However, the characters and setting are mine.*
